Add to Standard Colors
Is it possible to add a color to the Standard Colors displayed under the Font
section? I regularly highlight a few words in blue (0, 0, 255). After creating this color option, it shows up under Recent Colors. However, after I shut down the file, and bring it up later, this color option disappears from Recent Colors. |

You asked this in another thread recently and were told that it isn't
possible and to create a character style.

I tried to create a character style. Unfortunately, after that, all of my
text was blue. It took extra effort to convert sections back to black. Is there a way to place a request to Microsoft to change this? It isn't possible ... create a character style. |

This is not the usual result of creating a character style, so you have
obviously done something wrong. For instructions on how to create a character style, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm For one possibility of why it resulted in all the text being blue, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm -- Suzanne S.

This works. Thanks for the suggestion.
Record a macro and assign it to a hot key. |

ignore those who make fun because you've asked the question again. just may
happen that folks smarter than your critics may respond with help. I have created a template with that, macros and other features I use a lot. Use that template for all new documents. Less problematic than trying to work with styles, custom colors, etc over and over. for all that folks tell you that those are the best or only way to do things, they don't work consistently from one computer to another even within the same version of Word.
