fill palette

[Guest]

Is there a way to add a custom color to the fill palette to be used in tables
and borders?

Yes. Pick the paint bucket on the drawing toolbar, select "more fill colors",
click on the "custom" tab, choose whatever color you want. After you use this
colour it will appear at the bottom whenever you choose the paint bucket. Of
course, this being Word which always goes 95% of the way and then falls off a
cliff, it will only appear in the document you did this in (I'm pretty sure).
You could try saving the file as a template and see if the colour stays.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I said the wrong thing. I was more interested in
adding a custom color to the Shading Color and/or Border color.

I have corporate colors I use for header rows in tables that I have to enter
the RGB values for. It would make things easier to be able to add the colors
to the palette.

In this instance about the best you can do is save a sample table as an
AutoText entry or perhaps you can apply the custom color as shading in a
table style.
