[mso] Re: Word 2003: Apply Custom Color to Text

Create a character style and add it to your template. 

If you don't know how to do the above, let me know and I'll provide further
details. But you might want to check out this TechTrax article for some
additional info.

Subject: [mso] Word 2003: Apply Custom Color to Text

To All,

I have created a custom color for some text in a Word 2003 document. Is
there 
any way to make that color an easy choice when I want to apply it to other 
bits of text after applying black to intervening text? IOW, Help says I can 
use the little icon that looks like the letter "A" on the Format toolbar to 
apply the most recently used color, but I often want to apply the custom
color 
after having used black for a while. I would like to avoid having to
re-define 
the custom color every time I need it.

I suppose I could write a macro for this, but other Microsoft applications 
remember several user-defined custom colors. Can Word 2003 remember custom 
colors?

Thanks for the help.

Ray Shapp
