Hello guys I am trying to get a color from an image that I like an apply it to my text. The only problem is that I can't find the eyedropper anywhere! Did they take it out?

    Why on earth did they take it out?  I've just moved over to PC from Mac, and was surprised that the option isn't available on the PC version of Office, but is on the Mac.  Disappointing.  This is a fairly fundamental tool for designers and its omission is a completely retrograde step.  Yes, I can use third party software and manually enter values... but that's crazy extra effort for something which should be so simple.

    A bad, bad move. The eyedropper was extremely useful. Please return it to future releases.

    Agreed. A very useful and easy tool. It should come back.

    Amen Craig! What the heck? Did they not ask any users about this at all? I used it all the time. Went to use it today and it's not there. Ugh!

    Hi Quinn,

    Yes, it was removed from the font color picker. I use another program (Snagit) to get the RGB colors - any program that has the eye dropper will work.
