I'm not going to tell all my users to visit a blog. This is UI 101. I guess
they'll have to contend with an increasingly inconsistent and
headache-inducing UI... or not upgrade to Office 2007 at all.

Hi C.,

For the 2007 Office System, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, parts of Outlook and
MS Access received the new 'Ribboned' interface. Those
apps use the 2007 Office theme for the Ribbon element and for their 'old
style' dialog boxes, they pickup the Windows color
settings.

For the apps that stayed with the 'traditional' menus, such as MS
Publisher 2007, the 'old rules' still apply as to what coloring
they follow. For backround and specifics on the User Interface changes
you may want to visit the Office UI team blog at

I use XP's Silver scheme. Why do some Office 2007 apps use a BLUE color
scheme while others like (Publisher) use the right scheme (XP Silver). It
looks horrible and contrasts with everything. Why the disparity?!!!
