Did I mention that color in Word is displayed simply by means of the active
monitor profile assigned to the RGB numbers inside the Word file? Just as in
all instances of applications under Mac OS X that offer no color management
of their own?
As for what profile Word uses internally for RGB data, I think the answer is
very simple: none!
