Office Color Scheme

[Jacques B]

Hi,

I assume Microsoft gets thousands of suggestions, but I would like to add
one. I assume you thought of adding more color scheme options in Office.
The Beta 2 version only seems to have the XP Blue and Vista Grey. My eyes are
very sensitive to light and the 2 schemes seem to be at opposite sides of the
range. I know someone who is color blind and he said that he also found it
difficuly to read with the only available color schemes. it would be nice to
have a color scheme option that would adopt the operating system colors that
already suites the user.

Hi Jacques,

Office 2007 will ship with three color schemes in total. No one knows
yet what the third color scheme looks like though as MS hasn't revealed
that yet.
If you have set Windows to use high contrast (or something like that),
Office should use that setting. It will ignore the other color scheme
settings in Windows though.
