Categories Colors

K

Somehow I've lost the color's on Categories both on the main menu bar and on right click menu when you highlight an appointment. All I get are the words (e.g.None, Family, Friends, etc.) But no color. I did change the color of the highlight in System Preferences

Ab so I could see the curson in Excel clearer but I don't think that would cause the colors on this menu to go away.

Any ideas?

Often restarting will fix many problems. Have you restarted and run Repair
Permissions?

This is not caused by the change in System Preferences color. Testing in a
new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or
if it¹s your User¹s folder that contains the problem.

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the
New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching. Test Office there.

If the problem goes away then it's your User's folder that has the problem.

Wow, seems like a PIA to do this every time this happens.

BTW - under remedy No. 2 it ask to remove the file "com.microsoft.DatabaseDaemon.plist" but I could find no file. Nonetheless removing the other 3 did the trick.

This should be very rare.

Some of the pref files have slight name changes. The ones listed on the page
where for 2004. Takes a while to get all pages updated. I'll add that one to
my long list. :)

Thanks for letting me know what worked.
