You can apply color to your Word text through Font Color formatting. You can choose from a palette of colors that are theme-related or from Word’s Standard Colors. Always keep legibility in mind when choosing font colors.
Select the text to which you want to format.
Click the Font Color drop-down arrow button on the Home tab.
Click a color.
Word applies the formatting to the selected text.
Note
What’s a Theme? Themes are another way to apply a common look and feel to your documents. They include a set of coordinating colors and fonts. To learn more about themes, see Chapter 9, “Controlling Page Layout.”
