Color Scheme Sylvester 10/12/2008 4:43:00 PM Hi all, I've just installed (and reinstalled) Office 2007 and it seems to installed correctly but I have no color scheme - all toolbars show up in black/white. Changing the scheme color in preferences does not affect it. Office has been successfully installed on two other computers. Help is appreciated! Thanks!

MS in its infinite wisdom has decided that it knows what colours everyone in the world wants and will ignore what you have set up in Windows. The really great feature is that the difference between active and inactive windows is negligible so by clicking on the X you can easily close the wrong window :-P

Re: Color Scheme Sylvester 10/17/2008 3:11:01 AM Thank you! All my colors came back once I changed it to Classic View instead of Windows XP style. How goofy. Thanks for your help!
