Question : modifying the default color palette

Hi, Our compnay has created 3 colors that we use to create all our standard documents. We have created macros that the users click on to select the appropriate custom color in office and excel. What I would like to do is modify the default color palette so that we dont have to create the macros because they are the source of alot of our issues. I can modify a default color but as soon as I close excel and go back in the modifications are lost. Word does not seem to have an option to modify the default colors. Is there a way around this?

Answer : modifying the default color palette

In Excel you can modify the colours in a blank new workbook and save it as a template called book.xlt in the users' XLSTART directory. Then if they use the New icon on the main toolbar or Ctrl+N, they will get the new colour palette. If they use File-New... and select Blank Workbook, Excel will unfortunately ignore this template.
