If you are talking about the "paint bucket" -- it is used to fill in a
geometric shape. The shape must be closed and selected before any options are available on the paint-bucket (fill color) button. If this isn't what you are trying to do -- please provide a more detailed description of what you are attempting to do - and what the problem is. Kathryn G. "tomox" wrote in message ...

Back to the original question: do you have a colour printer installed and
set as the Windows Default printer? We don't care if you don't want to print it but you need a colour printer driver installed. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "tomox" wrote in message ...

Word is intelligent enough to know that if you don't have a color printer
installed, then you can't print in color. If you can't print in color, why bother with changing the color?

There are two buttons that use the paint bucket icon.
1. The one on the Drawing toolbar (Fill Color) can be used only for AutoShapes (including text boxes), and no colors will be available unless an AutoShape is selected. 2. The one on the Tables and Borders toolbar (Shading Color) can be used for text and table cells. This is probably the one you want to use if you're trying to apply a color to text. Alternatively, you could use the Highlighter (though it has very few usable colors). Also, if you want to change the color of the text itself, then you need to use the Font Color button. -- Suzanne S.
