Word 97 available colours

Hi
Can anybody tell me how to increase the amount of colours available in word 97 as used for fonts and infilling boxes ect, as the amount available seems rather limited.
many thanks for any replies.

 

Additional font colors in Word 97 are available only by using Word Art (which I think is accessed through View>Toolbars, click on Word Art).

There is a third-party program you can try called Eyedropper which says it will add more color selections. I haven't used it so I make no recommendations.

The final option is to upgrade to Word 2000 which has a built-in color palatte for choosing font colors.
