change a cell background colour to my own RGB colour requirements

[Guest]

It would really nice if I could change a cell border and background coulour
to a specific RGB range for our company standard colour range. When preparing
quotations.

dont know why, but you can't define your own colours in excel2000. Bu
if you define all your colours in text in msword, then just copy&paste
Your new colours should appear in all your colour options on the Forma
Cells pane, but not on the quick buttons on toolbar. Hope this help

You can change the color palette unde
tools...options...color...modify...custom

... or you can use the RGB function in VBA

The advantage with the color pallette is that you can distribute th
revised pallette around the company so that everyone has access to th
correct colours.

I assume you would pdf the document before sending it out.

The advantage with the VBA option is that the colour wont change i
someone changes the pallette.

But there againg if the company changes its company colours you ca
change all the templates simply by changing the pallette.

have fun,
hope this help
