How to save a color to palette without recreating it. (Word, 2002)
I'm doing a Table and each cell has one of four background colors. They are
not on the default "Fill Colors", so I have to go in and reselect the RGB each time. How can I put the color on the palette? Or is there another way to save it so all I have to do is click on it when I need that color? |

You can record or write four macros, one to apply each color, and put buttons on a toolbar to run the macros. If you record a macro while you apply a shaded background to a cell, you'll get something like this: Sub Sample() Selection.Shading.Texture = wdTextureNone Selection.Shading.ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic Selection.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = 11182170 End Sub The number represents the RGB color, by a rather complex formula. But it's easy to write a macro that's more understandable, like this one (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed): Sub BlueShade() Selection.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = _ RGB(red:=80, green:=184, blue:=244) End Sub To make the other macros, just change the name BlueShade to something that describes another color, and change the numbers for red, green, and blue. To make buttons for the macros, see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm. -- 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. |

The colours should show under "Recent Colors" on the colour palette if they
are 'non-standard' and have been used recently (in the current Word session). -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "b4a5s" wrote in message ...
