I am using VBA in Word 2003. I want to display a dialog box to allow the user to select a color, like the one displayed when you choose More Colors from the Font Color drop-down button from the toolbar. I could not find one among Word's Built-in Dialog Boxes, and VBA's help files failed to live up to their name (i.e. help). Any ideas?

Hi,
Code:
    Dialogs(wdDialogFormatFont).Show
seems to be the ONLY built-in for format font.

Skip,

Thanks, Skip. You have replied to many of my posts in the past and I always appreciate your help.

I'm actually looking for something more generic, though. I'm not trying to change the font, but select a color. I want to use this for table background colors, textboxes, etc., so it needs to be generic.

Any other ideas, anyone?
