Color Match
At one time, I saw someone do what I need to do but I cannot figure out how
they got to that point. If I have a word or picture or something in Word in one color, and I want to match that same color to another line within the document, there is a way to point and match colors without going through the hunt and peck method of the color chart. Anyone know how? |

Anyone know how? It isn't possible in Word alone. With a little outside help, though, it can be done. You'll need a graphics program such as PhotoShop or the free Paint.Net (http://www.getpaint.net/) that has an "eyedropper" tool for sampling the colors in the picture. Using that tool, click the color you want to match, and write down the red, green, and blue values that make up the color. Then in Word, click the down arrow on the font color button, choose More Colors, go to the Custom tab, and enter the values you got from the graphics program. That will give you the same color for your font. To save the color, make a style whose definition includes that color. -- 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. |

How about vice versa? I would like to know the build of the color in Word so that I can match it in Photoshop. Is there somewhere that I can find the RGB or CMYK builds for the default colors offered by Word?
