Where can I download gold, silver etc colours for Office?

[davo2201]

Have been trying to change my font to Gold, silver and other metallic colours
but am unable to find them in the Font section of MS Word or by using the
help function. I have searched Microsoft and the WWW with no joy. If
possible, can someone direct me to the correct location to find these
colours... if they exist.

cheers,

Andrew

Metallics are difficult.

There are a couple of threads here that might help:

In the "metallic fonts" thread, Jay Freedman gives RGB values that you might
want to try.

Technically you aren't going to get a metallic color. The closest you'll get
is a funky yellow-brown or grey. If it's for something larger, Paper Direct
has a foil that can be used with a laser printer or copier. I don't know if
it would work with small text.

To the guys that have replied thus far.

A very big thank you. Your assistance has been very helpful and I have
bookmarked the URLs you gave for guture reference.

Hopefully those colours will work when I drop my documents off to the loca
Print shop. I will let you know how I go (probably post results end of next
week). Now all I have to do is figure out how to make the text sparkle a
little more when the document is read electronically.

Cheers,

Andrew
