    Hi, I'm creating a template and want to include easy access to the company's corporate colours -- either through a toolbar, or as the default choice of colours when you select a colour, which I know is possible in Excel. Is this possible in Word (without coding)? Many thanks, Sam

    Hi, I'm looking after an Excel database of client records, and have sorted the database by contact name.

    Word count on Excel worksheet

    Hi, Is it possible to do a word count on an entire Excel worksheet (or preferably the whole workbook) using VBA? I can't use an array formula to do this as it needs to be a generic calculation that adds up A1:IV65535, i.e. the entire worksheet with the formula on cell IV65536 -- Excel hangs when...
