I created a custom color scheme in Publisher and saved it. I have since
found that I needed to adjust one of the colors, but I cannot change the
existing color scheme, I have to create another custom scheme and save that
with a different name. Does anyone know how to delete a named color scheme,
not just from your own info but from the list that Publisher can offer, so
that you can save another color scheme with the same name?

Look in a folder similar to this (hidden file)
c://Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Publisher

Find the file custcols.scm

Rename it to custcols.old. You probably could delete the file, it is your call.

This looks like it will delete all custom color schemes. Is there a way to
delete only one using Publisher 2003? Is it possible in Publisher 2007? How
about a way to edit a custom color scheme in either version?

Thanks!!

Never mind about the editing... I just figured it out. :)
