The answer to your original question is, it is not done. The colors of the
toolbars and menus in Word are fixed, not changeable. You can change the colors of a number of items for most Windows programs in the Start Menu Settings Control Panel Display Appearance Advanced dialog, but Word 2003 ignores many of those settings. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. jonnymcv1 wrote: Sorry - yes, they're grey, and definitely Office 03 "Suzanne S.

However, when using Microsoft Office 2003 Professional on one computer, I
find there is a blue colour scheme, whereas the Office 2003 Standard Edition I have has the grey scheme. "Jay Freedman" wrote: The answer to your original question is, it is not done.

Window Colour
I just noticed that the Windows "Theme" can change Word, along with
everything else. (I don't usually bother with themes.) Go to Start Menu Settings Control Panel Display Themes. I think you'll find that the computer with the blue scheme has the Windows XP theme or something similar selected, while the one with the grey scheme has the Windows Classic theme. That also controls a lot of other visual properties, such as title bars and the window background. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. jonnymcv1 wrote: However, when using Microsoft Office 2003 Professional on one computer, I find there is a blue colour scheme, whereas the Office 2003 Standard Edition I have has the grey scheme.
