How do you add bespoke colours to the palette in office XP for us.

We want to be able to use our specific company colours in powerpoint etc.
To do this we would need to add them to the palette. Is there any way to do
this?

Not in Word :( You would have to apply your font colour preference as part
of a defined paragraph style. For other elements save as autotext entries.

For Powerpoint you'll have to ask in a Powerpoint group.

Hi Dora,

To add a bit to Graham's reply. If you apply a
custom color in Word to a shape, (line/fill) it
will be added to the fill color palette in that
document. To preserve that color availability in other documents
you'd need to apply the colors to a shape within
the Normal.dot or other template you use for creating
your documents.

Note that onscreen and printed colors may not be
an exact match.

THANK YOU, Bob. I have been wrestling with changing font colors over and over
when working with a palatte for a letterhead, logo, etc. and being able to
create it in Word. Using your suggestion, I created four new styles and named
them ABS Dark (ABS is the initial for the company I'm working on), ABS Med,
ABS Light, and ABS Gray. Gave each one a shortcut key and I'm off and
running! What a timesaver (and what a surprise that Word doesn't offer the
same custom color feature with fonts that it offers with fills and lines???)
