Business Computing Tips

Many Formatting options, give you the chance to change their colour. Some
only have limited options, but for most, you will be offered quite a wide
choice.
If you don't see what you want straight, click on the More Colours
option and it will give you a wider choice. If you want it exact, click on the
Custom tab, and you can type in the exact hues you want.
The main thing to remember with colour is that no-one's computer shows
colour exactly the same way. Subtle variations are often lost, so don't spend
hours over it unless you are doing something for a specialist printer.
Many of your documents may be read on the screen. Don't get so lost in the
prettiness of it, that it becomes impossible to read. Many people can not read
light colours well, especially yellows. Try to avoid using them unless you
have a dark background.
Patterns also make things harder to read. For most things, less is most
definitely more.
