Default Word 2003 on WindowsXP changes video color quality

I think we should cross that bridge if we come to it, but I have not seen
this particular problem before.

Some Intel video drivers have been a bit naff. The more recent ones
are better. Let's hope that this fixes the problem.

I guess I can update the intel video driver. Yes I am sure I click
on display properties on the desktop and the colors is set to 8bit
(forgive me I'm not in front of the pc that does this). The screen
goes black for a sec like its changing when I open Word. Then the
display is 8bit. When I close Word it goes back and then changes
back to the bit it was at before I opened. I've verified it with
display properties so I know I'm not going crazy.

Word can be a bit fussy about screen drivers, so your first option
is to update the screen driver to the latest. If that doesn't fix
it reduce the display's hardware acceleration. However, are you
sure that the screen is switching to 8 bit? Have you checked the
display properties when this occurs? What are the symptoms?

I have a client with both WP12 and Microsoft Word 2003 (Not the
entire office pack). Everytime she runs Word her monitor switches
from her current colors (16 bit i believe) to 8bit. Once she cloes
word the colors quality bit switches back to the normal one. Does
anyone have a clue why it would do this? Its driving me nuts.

Thanks!
