Is there a way to deploy a custom color in Word10?
I need to supply a specific rgb color code as a default option for business
purposes during deployment -



Thanks in advance

Hi Yipd,

422e5d

thanking you kindly in advance.

Hi Yipd,

Again: Custom colour for what? Telling me the hex codes says nothing about what this is for.

company colours.

Hi Yipd,

What aspect of Word is this for (e.g. a font, a textbox background, an autoshape)? You need to give detail since they're all different.

So in Word on the "Home" Ribbon > Font Colour > More Colours.
If i setup custom colours are only available for that session.
I would like to make it permanent and deployable to other machines.

Is that possible?

Hi Yipd,

No, that isn't possible. However, if you distribute a template with a macro designed to apply the custom colours from, say, a macro-driven userform dropdown, that would give your users ready access to the colours without needing to use the inbuilt functions. If you assign the macro to a unique keyboard shortcut, that will make its use even easier.
