Changing colour gradients in themes

jasfc · #1 12-21-2018, 05:44 AM

I am trying to import our colour schemes into a theme. This includes 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% gradients of the primary colour.

When I set a theme in Word, I can change the main colours, but the gradients underneath are pre-set to lighter 80%, lighter 60%, etc.

Is there are way to change this?

Have you tried creating a set of Theme Colors (via Design | Colors)?

Of course, if you want to modify the color of text, the easiest solution is to create a paragraph style (or a character style) with the desired color characteristics.

Jumping off from Stefan's suggestion...

Consider creating QuickStyle Sets. This is not as simple as Themes. It can be more powerful.

Here is a macro that removes all styles from the QuickStyles Gallery. You would then need to add your styles to the Gallery, then save the Style Set.

Code:

Sub StylesQuickStylesOff()

' This is preparatory to saving a Quick Style Set for only certain styles
' Strips all styles from quickstyles gallery
' Do not run in a document you plan on using because you will want those other standard styles in you gallery
'
    Dim aStyle As Style
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each aStyle In ActiveDocument.Styles
        aStyle.QuickStyle = False
    Next aStyle
    On Error GoTo 0
 End Sub
