This is an "across the board" question for all MS Office apps. I have a document with fonts of a particular color. I would like to apply the same color to another style. However, I can't figure out to get the app to identify the color. It doesn't get transferred to the font color icon. I know that in other applications (like PhotoShop) I can use an eye dropper tool to identify the color. Any trick to doing so in Office?

Hi,
There's a way to get the color code information if that would help you, and then copy those numbers when you create the other style. Here's how:

1. Make the text the color you want and highlight it.
2. Click on the dropdown arrow next to the Font Color icon (The "A" in the Font group).
3. Click on "More Colors" in the box that pops up.
4. Click on the Custom tab in the next box.
5. Copy down the numbers next to where it says "Red", "Green", and "Blue".
6. Paste those numbers into the same boxes when you create the other styles.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, Kara. A bit involved but seems to do the trick.
