Mac Office 2011 – Exporting a Color Palette

colorexchange-activesyncms officesettings

Just got into using Mac "full time" for work, and as I'm a bit of a nit-picker, I want to get things looking/behaving just so.

Thanks to the help of the group, I've been able to get my Category list looking "right" (see Outlook 2011 category colors – Windows Color Palette?) but now that I have my "Office 2010 Categories" Color Palette, I have had a couple of co-workers ask about getting it into their systems:

Office 2011 Mac Custom Colors with Office 2010 Win Colors

The thing is, looking at the "gear" menu in the Palette, I can see options to IMPORT new palettes, but not to export/save them:

Office 2011 Color Palette Management Options

Any idea of how to export them for re-use? Or how to create a "palette" file I could import in several systems?

Thanks!

PS: BTW, I wonder why Outlook Mac doesn't import the categories from Exchange as it does in Windows — I've set up Outlook 2007/2010 in several computers and in all of them the Category list is "synched" automagically…

Best Answer

Not a nice GUI way that I could find (bad on Apple) but the palette file is in ~/Library/Colors/xxxx.clr

Pick it up from there and distribute the file can load with the dropdown on the gear. Loading it effectively moves the file into this directory on that machine.
