atw: Visio colour palettes

Hi,

One for the Visio(2003 Pro) users out there.
I'm trying to set up a colour palette for other people in the office to use so we get closer to a consistent look and feel. My challenge is with the Visio color palette. According to the help files and everything I read on the web it should be easy - but the instructions I can find don't actually work like I expect.
I can create a new palette by going Tools>Color Palette... and entering all the relevant RGB values. No problems there. 
I can even copy this new palette to other files.  No problems there.

BUT...
I fail at getting the new palette into the Text, Line, or Fill Color buttons on the Formatting toolbar. I can right-click on an object and choose Format>Fill>Color and the new palette is visble, but most of my users aren't going to all that trouble when there is a button staring them in the face.
Has anyone managed to get a custom palette into the formatting toolbar buttons? 

Thanks,

Geoff
