Hi,

For specific reasons I needed to install Office 2003 on my Vista
Ultimate laptop.( I have Office 2007 but needed 2003 to help a client).
Is there a way to change that hideous "baby blue" default color of Office to
something more palatable?
Like silver or black?

Jeff

Did you try changing Windows display? That's what you would have done on an
XP system but since I don't have Office 2003 on a Vista system, I can't try
it out.

JoAnn,

Thx for your response. Unfortunately neither do I. Was researching it
some more and it looks like it's not easily accomplished, if at all. Oh
well, thank god it's only for 6 weeks, then back to Office 2007 for me.

I found a way to get the grey colors on the NBR forum:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=271065

The solution is to set the compatibility mode of the Office 2003
programs to "Windows 2000". Works for me with Outlook, Excel,
Powerpoint, Visio, Project.

Does not work with Word (odd, but I have a french SP3 version).
Hope this helps.
