CMYK/Pantone custom colors in 2007
I have some lettering and shading in a document that I want to match to my
logo. I know I have had the CMYK and Panetone options in the custom color bar drop down previously, but now all I get is RGB and HSL options. Am I missing something? Thank you. Vicki |

CMYK/Pantone custom colors in 2007
Sorry to contradict you, but no Office program has ever had built-in CMYK or
Pantone options. They're all RGB-based. Maybe you had a third-party add-in that provided a translation. You can find lots of web pages (http://www.google.com/search?q=cmyk+to+rgb+conversion) that show charts or formulas for *approximating* CMYK colors with RGB. The CMYK color space is larger than the RGB color space, meaning that there are CMYK colors that can't be exactly matched by any RGB color. Read the Conversion section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model for more information. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

cmyk Colours in Word
Good morning,
I just buy a Word for Mac. In this version (8) I find the Web colors and also the cmyk's. Do you know a third-party which the same for PC? In the 2010 version I have on my PC I only find the RGB and the HSL options. Thanks a lot Patrice Brel On Wednesday, April 28, 2010 12:54 PM Vicki B wrote: I have some lettering and shading in a document that I want to match to my logo.
