Office 2007 color schemes

[Adam Raff]

Good Day,



We have started putting Office 2007 out on our desktops and I have been
getting a lot of complaints on the color scheme that the new Office has. A
lot of my users are saying that the color is way too bright. I only see
three color schemes which you have to go to in the other office products;
they are Blue Silver and Black. I looked on the web site and I did not see
any there. Is there any where else that I am missing?



Thanks
Adam Raff

That's it, just those three. I would suggest they experiment with their
monitor controls to see if they can find something a bit easier on the eyes.
(I had to do that with my new LCD monitor last week. I was getting welder's
flash.)

Hi Adam,

I agree with JoAnn's suggestion.

The three schemes are the only ones that Office 2007 can use. To make the
screen more suitable for eyes, please adjust the monitor settings.

I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to your users, and I will
report this scenario to our related team, and I am sure they will take a
look into this.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know.


Regards,

Leon Hao

I'm still tweaking my settings - it's really bad for those of us with older
eyes.

My issue with the color schemes centers around consistency. I can deal with
the colors, in fact I like the black, but how do I make Project 2007, Visio
2007, and OneNote follow the same scheme as the core applications of Office
2007. I cannot take the powder blue default and have not been able to figure
out how to change it. Any help?

Not yet. I think we may be stuck with the blue. (My husband and I both use
the black as well.)

and

for the explanation when and why which Office application uses which
color scheme.
