Office 2003 colors

[Grant]

Is there any way to make office 2003 use the old color scheme? The newer blue
one looks horrible on my laptop, and I want to go back to the old one.

Make your own as it uses Windows color schemes.

Yes, but then I have to change the colors for all my programs. What I want is
the toolbars to be the normal grey color that other programs like OE are.

If you're using the standard Windows colour scheme then it's beige not grey
(there must be something wrong with your display settings if you're seeing
it as grey). OE also takes its colour settings from Windows. You cannot
change colours individually, you must change it globally - there's no other
choice (although there may be 3rd-party software that can do this, I am not
aware of any).

Beige, grey, same difference. I only see in 16 colors anyways

So the only way I can change the menus and toolbars away from that blue color is
to change my start menu as well?

So there *IS* something wrong with your display adapter!
