Color scheme help
A couple months ago the color scheme in Word changed, out of the blue. When
I opened it, it no longer had the default appearance. Instead it has been replaced with mostly white around all the buttons, and a blue/gray title bar. I have checked all the settings that I can locate and nothing seems to be amiss. If I go into options and use the drop down menu to select one of the 3 available color schemes, no changes take place. Today I decided to pull out my disc and try to 'repair'. It did it's repair business, however, still the same thing, white color scheme with a blue/gray title bar. Anyone have any ideas on how to get back to the default? Thanks, Natascha |

Mostly, you change the "Appearance" in Windows. Which version of
Windows?

I'm running XP on the affected machine. I'm pretty familiar with how to
change the Windows appearance and will do so from time to time. However, the change in Word did not coincide with any such change.

Is this Word 2007? If so check the display colour scheme in Word Options
Popular. The default is blue, but silver would be something like that described. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Natascha wrote: Well, that being a possibility, I checked it out.

Color scheme help
Changing the Windows Appearancew settings can trigger odd effects on the
Ribbon. Try resetting your Windows appearance to a built-in theme, and if that cures the problem, re-apply your appearance settings and see if it all works. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Natascha" wrote in message ...

I have tried this. In my original post I mentioned that choosing silver,
blue, or black do nothing to change the display setting I have at the moment. I am running the 2007 version indeed. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Is this Word 2007?
