More colors option doesn't appear

I'm using Word 97 SR2 and up until this morning I could
set the colour of text or anything I wanted to any colour
I wanted using the "More colors" option.

Now that option doesn't appear at all, you get the
standars range of colors which can be chosen but you can't
select "more colors" to create your own or choose from the
widers selection available in the Hexagonal color selector.

A real headscratcher. All help appreciated.

Word 97 has never had more than 16 "colors" for text, borders, and shading.
The "More Colors" option is available only for WordArt and AutoShapes.

Thanks a great deal, I would have spent a considerable
amount of time figuring that out.

I was confused by the fact that I had changed the colour
of various objects, and thought one of them had been text.
