Hi I'm using Ms Office 2003 and I don't like the light blue color scheme it has where the old office was using the gray scheme that windows use! Can this be changed?????? Also the icons are not as clear?

Many thanks
Bob

im not sure about changing just microsoft but try this see how it works for you.

1.
go to control panel
2.
go to accessability options
3.
go to display
4.
hit the settings box
5.
hit the down arrow and click windows classic
6.
hit ok
7.
tick the check box that says use high contrast
8.
hit apply

to undo
untick the box and press apply
note: this will change the entire windows scheme not just msoffice

Thanks newbeski
Changing it to windows classic did change the colour with was great but I do like the Windows XP style. This style only has Default (Blue) and sliver and green. I found silver to be better for me. I will have a good play around here and get it the way I want. Why can't Bill leave office the way it looked before and let us change the colour if we want! Thats ok Bill just put your feet up now and have a rest. lol

Thanks again newbesk
