My folder and document titles have changed color. What controls this? I use
Word 2003. I see this also in Excel. |

Folder titles change color
OK, I'm replying to myself. My question has evolved. I see from another
question "Black vs. Blue .doc titles" in a reply from Amedee Van Gasse that this could be / is a function of the NTFS file system. Below is a cut and paste of the answer. I'd still like to know how to get this turned OFF, or change the color because it's one of those things that is going to drive me MAD...I don't even know what the NTFS file system is. "It won't hurt, the compression has nothing to do with Word, it is a feature of the NTFS filesystem and is completely transparant for all aplications. Compression/decompression happens "on the fly". If you copy the file to a medium that is uncompressable (like a FAT filesystem) it is instantly decompressed. Your computer is just trying to help you, trying to create a balance between uncompressed files (a bit faster) and compressed files (a bit smaller). As a rule of thumb, files that you don't need very often (once or twice per month or so) could be compressed, and files you need on a dayly basis shouldn't be. To all rules there are exceptions. ;-) " "PJSharp" wrote: My folder and document titles have changed color. What controls this? I use Word 2003. I see this also in Excel. |

Folder titles change color
In Windows Help and Support, search for "file compression." Note that you
can set the properties for any given folders to control whether files are compressed or not. Note that this is not a Word issue. -- Suzanne S.

Folder titles change color
Excellent!! Thank you so much; I had been looking on the Word properties, not
Windows properties. I was able to uncompress the file I currently work in. Ideally, I'd just like to change the color of that designation, that color drives me mad. I'm sure I'll never get that to happen, but can you tell me who handles this NTFS file system? Is that a MicroSoft feature? "Suzanne S.

It is a Windows feature, I suppose, and you would do better to ask in a
Windows discussion group, but I'm pretty sure you can't change the color. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "PJSharp" wrote in message ... Excellent!!

I suppose not as well, but it might be worth a try...
Many thanks! "Suzanne S.
