Default Change "Standard Colors" palette default colors in MS Word 200

The usually suggested way of setting new "standard" colors is to make
a Character Style consisting of only that color. Would that work for
you?

Thanks Dean for your response,

So if that can cause such problem is there any workaroud.

My requirement is that *some colors should be available for me as a palette,
i tried making those colors as recent colors and saved as template. But when
i used the template on a new file those colors just vanished. The theme color
also doesnt solve my problem cos there are some set of custom themes i should
not change the colors of that themes but those color i wish to appear should
be there.

If there is any way that solve my propblem please reply. Also if there is
someone know how to change the "Standard Colors" color please reply so that
i can play around with it for some time.

Thanks in Advance,
Akhil

I would suggest you don't change the standard pallete (not even sure if this
can be done easily anyway) because if any document constructed with a changed
pallete that is sent to anyone else will probably change colour back to the
colours set in the standard pallete.
Some years ago someone in my company changed the pallete in PowerPoint
corporate template, then the template pallete was returned back to "standard"
and we are now constantly hitting problems with old files that White text
changes to Black, not good when the "changed" orange text box background also
returns to black, etc., etc.
Word (and PowerPoint) only registers the cell in the pallete that has been
used, for say Font, and if the pallete has a different colour Word just shows
that colour that is in that pallete cell.
Serious consideration is required before any such exercise is under taken,
especially if any documents are sent external to your company/person.
Hope this helps

Hi,


Im trying to change the default colors in the "Standard Colors" color
palette.


Is there any way to do this thing. It would have been good if the user could
keep the colors of their choice in the "Standard Colors" color palette. Also
i dont want to change the theme color i just want to change the "Standard
Colors" colors.


Please reply im in real need for the help.


Thanks in Advance,
