To perform an operation, I need to confirm that the correct color has been used for certain words.
To test, I have inserted a block of text and colored it 'blue'. (The 'hover over' name of the color when I select it from the gallery of colors is "Blue" (not Navy blue, not Light blue, just Blue).)
The wdenumerator for the color blue is "16711680"
When I encounter the 'blue' text via my macro and compare to see if that text is 'blue', the values do not match. Here is the equation:
"If Selection.Font.Color = wdColorBlue then . . .
The Selection.Font.Color value shown in the hover over info block is '12611584'.
Since the colors ostensibly don't match, I cannot proceed.
Why is 'blue' from the color gallery not 'blue' in the routine? Is there another color chart I should be using?
