Hi Marcia,
The colors are 56 colors per workbook, they should be changing between worksheets
within the same workbook as I understand it.

Why do font color options change depending on worksheet used. I have
capability of "x" colors to use. Then when I open same document and/or
others, the font colors have changed. For example, red & brown are available
one time, then not available again. When you go into "format" to change
color, red & brown are not an option to choose.
