How do I add more colors to Highlight?

[Guest]

Excel has 40 colors to fill, Word has only 15. Is there any way to add more
highlighting colors?

Thanks.

Highlight is not the same as Fill. In most versions of Word, the Fill button
(for AutoShapes) offers 24-bit color. Word 2000 and above also offer 24-bit
color for shading of selected text, paragraphs, and table cells through the
Format | Borders and Shading dialog. If you display the Tables and Borders
toolbar, you can access this shading color palette via the Shading Color
button, which has the same paint bucket icon as the Fill button on the
Drawing toolbar.
