Easy color matching in Microsoft Office

Today we have a great tip submitted by François La Roche. It's a much easier way to match a color from text, pictures, shapes and headers in Microsoft Office. Sometimes, you receive a document for your work and you don't have the exact color code to reproduce it. It can easily be done by opening the color palette, called "Other color" and located in Font color or Fill color. You can then use the Magnifying glass to capture the color. You can even drag the color to the grid at the bottom to use it in the future.

Here is a great screenshot provided by François, showing the function:

Thanks François.

See you tomorrow for a cool Automator tip!

Great tip - very useful when going from MSWord to/from Photoshop/InDesign etc can use CMYK and RGB sliders to exactly match colours. Also saw from the screenshot that there are extra rows of squares to store colours - I did not know that - thanks guys.
