Re: Office 2003 appearance

Sorry, I like it just the way it is. I would suggest going back to Office
2000, or even XP if the appearance is so offensive. You would have done
better to watch a few web demos of Office 2003 to observe the interface
prior to buying to avoid the cost.

You can, however, return Office 2003 to Microsoft within 30 days for a full
refund.

| Hi, my friends!
|
| I've just installed Office 2003 and I'm shocked. Is this Office or
| is it a videogame? What is this bubbly look? Isn't Office meant to
| produce serious things like professional documents, presentations and
| so on? This is not serious... Indeed!
|
| Well, before going back to the elegant and serious Office 2000, I
| have a last hope that Office 2003 becomes something usable (yes, I
| can't concentrate when I'm expecting an enemy soldier or monster
| coming from the print button, so I can't use it efficiently). That
| last hope is you.
|
| Yes, my friends! I wonder if do you know a way to get Office 2003 look
| like a Windows native application and not resemble a cubist picture. I
| know (because I've conducted some searches on Goggle) that one can
| configure Office 2003 look through Windows' appearance settings. That
| operation, sadly, only changes the colors of Office apps, but they
| keep getting "decorated" in such a Picasso style. I'm on Windows 2000
| and, of course, using the Windows Standard color scheme, which makes
| the thing even more sad.
|
| Bill Gates should fire inmediately the Einstein who designed this
| crime against usability.
|
| Help, please, help!
