Creating legends

[Leslieelizabethe]

If I am creating a document and it has 4 or more colors in it and you want to
put something in your header to tell the reader what each color represents
how do you put in the legend? I am creating a recruitment schedule. One
color - black represents already attended conferences; blue represents
conferences that haven't been attended; red represents conferences that
should be attended; cranberry represents ones that should not be attended.
How can I create a field, table, etc., to show what each color represents so
I won't have to keep redoing it on every page, it will just keep repeating?

The easiest way to do this would be with a borderless table. Use a single
row (or three rows, the middle one empty, if you have too many colors to fit
neatly on a single row) with two cells for each color. Fill one cell with
the color and type the description in the adjacent cell, alternating shading
and text across the page.
