Is there any way to get Word to change each letter in a selection of
text to a random color? I am writing some Santa letters to some kids
in a playful font and I would like to print them in color.

I guess I could write a little macro.

You could write a little macro, but you might find a little wrinkle
that needs to be worked out. Yellow and white characters don't print
very well. g Try this:

Sub RandomColors()
Dim oCh As Range
Dim myColor As Word.WdColorIndex

Randomize
For Each oCh In ActiveDocument.Characters
Do ' get a random color that isn't white or yellow
myColor = 14 * Rnd() + 1
Loop Until (myColor wdWhite) And (myColor wdYellow)

oCh.Font.ColorIndex = myColor
Next oCh
End Sub
