is there any way to add additional color options for the Fonts in Outlook
2003?

Are you using word or the outlook editor? Choose Font Color, More Colors to
open the color picker - you can make any color supported by your version of
windows.

If you go into your outlook go to Tools > Options > Mail Format. If you have
this in Microsoft Outlook to run your emails click to use Microsoft Word as
your editor. Create a new email and click the options tab that appears on the
email itself, change your font to what colour you want it to be. Then go back
to Tools > Options > Mail Format and untick the box to use Microsoft Word as
your editor and it will keep your font colours the same as what you changed
them to.

I did this , but it does not save the color choice, even if I leave word as
the editor.

In Outlook 2003 you are limited to selecting the default font colors
globally. You can choose colors per messages - in the outlook editor, click
on format, fonts, color... custom at bottom of color list. With word as the
editor choose fonts on the editing toolbar.

Thank you though.
I assume there is no download for additional global colors.

Actually, "Nope" isn't quite true... while there is no way to change it for
replies, if you want to use this color for new messages you can create
stationery with the font colors set.

Let me recast the discussion slightly, please. My replies seem to be coming
up in the custom color I selected through Tools > Option > Mail Format but my
new e-mail does not, except for the signature. I keep adding the color I
select to Custom Colors after I create it but it does not seem to stick,
except for the current message. Is this what you are saying I can only do if
I also change my Word Normal template? Thanks for all your help here.
