change a cell background colour to my own RGB colour requirements

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. But 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 Format Cells pane, but not on the quick buttons on toolbar. Hope this helps

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

cheers

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

The advantage with the color pallette is that you can distribute the revised pallette around the company so that everyone has access to the 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 if someone changes the pallette.

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

have fun,
hope this helps

wow its that simple - Thank so much its a great help - Steve
