How can I add a 'custom colour' to the standard toolbar?
I have created a logo for a my small business and want to use the logo
colours for text within my email/word documents. At the moment I am having to reenter the RGB details of the colours every time I need to use them. Can I save my 'customised colours' as permanent choices on my standard colours selection palette or elsewhere? |

Create a style (either a paragraph style or a character style, depending on how you plan to use it) and include one of the custom colors as the font color within the style. Save the style in Normal.dot so it will be available for all your documents. Repeat for each custom color you want to use. -- 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. |

Re Word 2007: How can I add a 'custom color' to the palette?
Hello, I have Word 2007 and don't like the color choices in the font color
palette. I want to make my text the same color blue as a weblink but that option is not available without clicking several additional times to add a custom color, which then disappears when I close Word. Is there a way to permanently add my own colors to the palette? thank you.

Re Word 2007: How can I add a 'custom color' to the palette?
You could define a character style that uses that color.

Re Word 2007: How can I add a 'custom color' to the palette?
thank you but I never use styles. I did however find "themes" under Page
Layout, and there appears to be an option to create new theme colors. do you know if new theme colors will stay permanently? I haven't had a chance to experiment with them. "Suzanne S.

Re Word 2007: How can I add a 'custom color' to the palette?
If you "never use styles," then you *are* using Normal style and Default
Paragraph Font, both of which are styles. You're just not using them sensibly. If you want *all* your text to be a specific color, then you could modify the font of the Normal style (or the document defaults) to use that color. -- Suzanne S.

Re Word 2007: How can I add a 'custom color' to the palette?
The knowledge base in this office varies from power users, to users who still
treat their keyboards like a typewriter and hit hard returns at the end of each line and 5 blank spaces to indent. Styles are way above the heads of nearly everyone here. For the most part our staff members create quick 1-page merge documents to mail out notifying defendants of their court dates. I am a power user and I even have trouble with styles. I have found on the occasions where I'm working on a lengthy document and try to use styles, they don't work as advertised. They are not user friendly and are difficult to create and modify. When I try to modify an existing style, it makes all sorts of changes I did not want to lines of text I did not want to make changes to. Also, I create numerous documents that are then converted to Adobe Acrobat pdf and even though I have made every heading a "heading style," when I convert the word doc to pdf, not all of the the headings come across to the pdf as bookmarks and I end up with a bookmark for every 2nd, 3rd, or 5th heading. I then have to go in and manually add the pdf bookmarks, so all my time messing with styles was in vain. The only people I have seen who have mastered Word styles are the instructors who teach the classes and don't have to apply them in the real world. "Suzanne S.
