Hi Dwayne,
There can be a number of factors in this, including the version
of Word, the printer driver and its settings (including the
ICM color matching profile selecte) and the graphics card drivers
and the settings for color on the particular computer involved
in viewing/printing the file.
If you're trying to match a Pantone color or use a CMYK based
graphic there won't be a direct correlation in Word that's easy
or reliable.
If you create a basic purple square in Word, in Photoshop or
other graphic app using RGB of 120/40/200 (#7828C8) and use
a color checker eyedropper tool, such as Colorcop
http://www.datastic.com/tools/colorcop/proposal.php
and check the onscreen colors between what you have in Word
and your other app, do you get a variance?
Word is still 'text reflow' based software rather than
graphics page layout oriented.

Exactly what I am finding too - unfortunately our clients would like to use
Word to do stylish report covers and whatnot, to match their brochures, etc.
And there is no logical or technical reason why they should not be able to
do this - even in a word processing program.
It remains another reminder that monopoly = lethargy and apathy
many thanks for your time
