Experience
Formerly the #1 rated Microsoft Word Expert at Askme.com since volunteering there in December 2000. In that time, responding to hundreds of questions most of which were specific to Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Office and Microsoft Word in particular is one of the most popular programs that our firm, Computer Help provides instruction, one on one tutoring and consultation. I personally use MS Word for almost every task: Envelopes, Mailing Labels, Database, WordArt, Interactive Forms, Faxes, Letters, Lists, Newsletters, Tables, Email Editor and much more. The exception, Graphics and Web Pages. For graphics I use Ulead's PhotoImpact and Microsoft's FrontPage for web site design.

Microsoft Word - Two different font colour buttons


Expert: Dale F. Wiley - 11/4/2009

Question
Hello,

I am currently trying to find out how to add two different font colour buttons to a MS Word toolbar. So that after highlighting the selected text I can choose between two colours (Red & green).

When I need to colour the font different to the current colour selected I have to use the tedious method of selecting the new colour from the drop down menu.

Many thanks

Answer
Hi Timothy,

You didn’t mention what Microsoft Word version you are using so this answer reflects version Microsoft Word 2002 which is the version I am using.

To my knowledge, you can’t with the built-in features add an Icon with individual colors.

You can add an additional Font Color Icons but when you change the color in one they all change to the same color.

Feel free to ask one or all of the other volunteers about this issue.

One of them just may have run into a similar situation and they all are a lot smarter than I am.

Good Luck.

Dale :-)
