Multiple "Font Color" buttons Josh Gallagher 12/8/2008 12:16:06 PM It would be good to have multiple "Font Color" buttons on the toolbar and be able to choose a different colour in each one. The same would apply to the highlight buttons. Currently if I'm going through a note highlighting or colouring text based on some criteria, I cannot quickly shift between a set of colours. I need to open the drop down palette each time. Currently if I add another toolbar and place the "Font Color" button on it so that two are visible at once (one on the Formatting toolbar), selecting a colour in one automatically changes the colour in the other. Of course, adding a custom toolbar just to get multiple copies of a button is a hack, so perhaps the standard "Font Color" button could be modified to display several "recent colours" for quick clicking. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
