Customize Colours 2007
(Sorry if this has appeared twice)
Is there any way to add my own custom colours to the Font Colour and Fill Colour buttons on the Home ribbon in 2007. I would like to also do this for 70 of my colleagues. Any help would be very much appreciated. -- Thanks, Rob E. |

Customize Colours 2007
This can be done in PowerPoint but it doesn't exactly work as you'd like it
to in Word. Custom colors are added to the color picker in the Font dialog box but not in the color pickers on the Ribbon. Here's more on how to accomplish this task: http://www.echosvoice.com/PPTFiles/CustomColors.pdf If Echo's solution won't work for you then for Word, the easiest way to accomplished this is by creating a new Theme and sharing it with the other users. What you need to do is select Colors in the Themes group on the Page Layout tab, then click "Create New Theme Colors. Modify the colors to your liking and then, in the same group, click Themes and then select "Save current Theme". You can distribute the resulting file to other users and place it in their Document Themes folder so it will appear in the Themes gallery. When the colors are needed, make sure the custom theme is applied to the document. You can also customize the Theme colors in a template and when new documents based on the template are created the colors will be available instead of creating a new .thmx file and distributing it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs "Rob E" wrote in message ...
