What is a .GCSX file?
A .GCSX file is a special kind of file that works with Microsoft Office, specifically with a part called SmartArt. SmartArt lets you create fancy diagrams and graphics in your documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. The .GCSX file holds information about colors. This means you can use it to change the colors of your SmartArt graphics to make them look the way you want. You can either make your own .GCSX file to create a unique color style or use colors that come with Microsoft Office.
You can open and use .GCSX files in Microsoft Word 365, Microsoft PowerPoint 365, and Microsoft Excel 365. These are programs where you can add SmartArt graphics and then customize them with your .GCSX file.
More about these files: .GCSX files are made in a special way that uses Open XML formatting. This is the same kind of formatting used for Word documents (.DOCX), PowerPoint presentations (.PPTX), and Excel spreadsheets (.XLSX). This means if you know how to work with these types of files, you might find it easier to create or modify .GCSX files.
To make your own custom colors for SmartArt, you would create a .GCSX file. Remember, SmartArt and the ability to use these color files are available in versions of Microsoft Office from 2007 and later. So, if you have one of these versions, you can start making your SmartArt graphics look exactly how you want with your own color schemes.
