Office Color Palette 1

[Freckles]

I am putting out a "BIG" Power Point Document that gets both Word and Excel Documents pasted in. And the Word documents are 95% of the time really an export from Access (rtf file). The Excel file is pasted in as a picture.

Since this file is printed in color, how can I load and create a Palette (.pal) that will be applicable to all of these Office documents?

And yes B-( , I know that it is not the most efficient way to do things using Power Point, but until I can persuade the troops to purchase Acrobat, I have to go that way.

What do you think you're using? CorelDraw? Not even close.

Sorry, not really yelling here, Deb. More like chuckling because you won't come close to being able to create something like that in Powerpoint--not that I know of. PowerPoint is nothing like Illustrator, CorelDraw, and it's not even half of what PhotoDraw is like--and they've discontinued that.

The only thing I can offer is that Excel does have the ability to make a "custom" default chart. So, you can create a chart (even a fake one) with all your colors being used (then remember them for Word, LOL) and save it as the default--after making the chart, go to chart options, chart type, hit the default button--I'm pretty sure that's how you do it.

Anyway, I wish I could offer more advice for you. Just in case you're using Office 97, I'll let you know that the colors now available in Office 2000 are far better--you can create PMS (if I recall right), RGB, and html colors in there.
