color palette

[bprice1866]

I teach in a school and some of our word 2000's have 40 colors in the palette
while some only have 16 why, and how can I get the others to have 40 colors

Word 2000 has 24-bit color (millions of colors, not just the 40 shown on the
palette). If a copy of Word has only 16 colors it is probably Word 97 or
earlier.

Are you sure the ones with 16 colors aren't Word 97 instead of Word 2000?
