Word 97 Colors
How do you get more colors (besides the default 15) for the Highlight
feature? I have Word 97 running on Windows 2000 and it has 15 colors. I also have it running on XP and have more colors. Is this dependant on the OS? Thanks! |

The number of *highlight* colors is the same in all versions of Word and on
all platforms. Word 97 and earlier also have limited colors for text, borders, and shading, but the full 24-bit palette for AutoShapes and drawing lines (including WordArt). In Word 2000, 24-bit color for text, borders, and shading was introduced. -- Suzanne S.

But no version of Word has more than 15 colors for highlighting.
