    Are you tired of the un-standard blue that is in office 2007? If so, you can get the blue back!

    Open up whatever you are using *mainly word/excel i guess* and click "more colors" under the color menu. Go to the tab custom, and in the RGB section, set R=0, G = 0, and B = 255.

    That's it!

    Where is the "color menu"?

    Edit: And are we talking about the look and feel of the program itself...because that's what am thinking.

    Yeah, they changed my favorite orange that I have used for years in one of my spreadsheets. I have to remember the RGB color codes to use it :/

    i meant the official font colors in the text. As we know, the blue doesn't seem very "standard" compared to 2003 and other stuff on the web.
