Display palettes permanently while designing a form or report

To keep a color palette or style palette displayed the entire time you're designing a form, report, or data access page, drag the palette away from its toolbar button.

  1. In form Design view, report Design view, or data access page Design view, click the arrow next to the Fill/Back Color Button image, Font/Fore Color Button image, Line/Border Color Button image, Line/Border Width Button image, or Special Effect Button image buttons on the Formatting toolbar.
  2. Click the bar at the top of the palette and drag the palette away from the button.
