Custom Colors Palette

[DannyNeumann]

Hi, I'm new to PowerPoint and only have an older versions (2003 & 2004 for Mac). I'm building a template for a client and they've asked that their palette of 50 or so colors be available in the Formatting Palette.



When I click, for instance, Fill / Color I see different options. The first row of eight color swatches reflects the colors chosen for that slides particular scheme. That could be helpful except that I don't necessarily want the colors available there to be applied to specific things like background, text, shadows, etc.

When I select More Fill Colors I get a new window with a few options for picking colors. There is a grid at the bottom which allows me to build a custom palette. But that palette is not part of the template I'm building, its part of my application, ie - when I send this template to the client, those colors are no longer there in that grid.

What can I do to get a custom palette built so that my client can easily choose pre-defined colors when they're building out their documents?

Thanks very much!

Im sure there is an easier way but macros would work since they can create any color you want no matter what computer. the problem is creating the buttons for the macros and making them colors you need to represent a pallete and then importing that toolbar. Again Im sure there is an easier way.
