Font Color Question//.Replacement.Font.Color = 12611584

rsrasc · #1 09-05-2015, 09:53 AM

I'm using the following code to highlight certain text in blue.

.Replacement.Font.Color = 12611584

Just wondering if someone would be able to provide me some other numbers like "12611584" to be used for other colors.

Thanks,
Roberto

Open a document in Word, select some text, and then record a macro. Click the Font Color icon on the Home tab of the Ribbon. Choose a bunch of different colors, and then stop the macro recording. You'll have the color values in the recorded macro, like this:

Code:

Sub Macro20()
'
' Macro20 Macro
'
'
    Selection.Font.Color = -553582593
    Selection.Font.Color = -704577537
    Selection.Font.Color = -553598977
    Selection.Font.Color = -687800423
    Selection.Font.Color = wdColorRed
End Sub

Grab ColorCop, a free download. It is invaluable when working with colours. It will return a value like - &H86553D (grabbed from the blue bands in this forum's default style) which you can use in your code e.g.

Code:

Selection.Font.Color = &H86553D

I use it to match Word colours to clients' corporate styles.
