User Form Style

K

Kerry Hewett

I often create user forms within Word & Excel. The user
form style is rather old fashioned (no different from 7,97
or 2000) even though I am using Office XP on Windows XP.

I have created user forms that automatically displayed in
the nice XP way - they just looked more up to date with a
more 3-d sparkle, the cross in the top right was red
rather than traditional black etc.

How did I create them before - I thought it was down to
the platform I was using at the time but obviously not if
it not happening anymore. Are there any funky styles of
user forms available elsewhere??

Can anyone please advise.

Thank you very much.

Kerry.

Hi Kerry,
I'm thinking you've maybe changed Theme on XP which may well display the
old Win2k style of userform. The userforms if created in XP then
displayed in 2K should only ever show the 2K style anyways I think.

This sound about right?

That is correct - the style of the userform reflects the current theme
unless you set colors of the various elements away from their defaults.
