You can - but it won't just be the fonts. You need to set up the styles as fonts and colours, and then save that as a custom Theme. That will give you both the fonts and colours for the entire theme. On a PC you can create custom font sets that are separate to everything else, but Mac doesn't give you that function in Word (yet!).
You absolutely can! From the Design tab in Word, select a custom palette. Right click with your mouse and select 'Edit'. You can then set all of your brand colours and save that palette with your own title. You can only have 1 custom palette in Mac via this option though.
But you didn't show us how to customize a theme! All you did was show us how to select preexisting color palettes and save them into a theme. What if I want to create a theme with client-specific colors?
You can have 1 customised theme set in Word for Mac. But to set it up, you actually need to create the custom set in POWERPOINT, not Word. In PPT, go to Design > then the drop down arrow under the Themes section. From the Colours sidebar, scroll to the bottom and choose CUSTOMISE COLOURS. This gives you the pop up where you choose all of your branded colours for text, accents, hyperlinks etc. Once it's set (and named), you can choose it as your custom set in Word, and even choose to edit it from there. But to create it, you need to be in PowerPoint. Weird but true.
@@thriveadminservices Well heck, thanks for that information! I can't believe it didn't occur to me that if I wanted to create a custom theme for Word, I would need to do it in PowerPoint. What a very Microsoft solution! 🤪 Thank you for the follow-up!
Hi there! I was wondering if there was a way to have a custom font set? Is it possible on Mac at all?

@@thriveadminservices thank you so much. You saved me a lot of stress. Appreciate it
It's strange I can't seem to click right and get "edit". This might be a good subject for a video.
@@bobciosain Same, I only get delete?
Can we get some help here? 😇
Hi, this option is still available for sonoma?
Hey there, it certainly should be!
