Prior to applying Office 2007 SP2, the look and feel of outlook 2007 was nice
and colorful (Menu bars, backgrounds, etc). Ever since upgrading to SP2
yesterday now when I load Outlook 2007 or any office application it looks
like everything is in black and white! Even the Office Button in excel, word,
or when I have a new mail message open in outlook is not in "3-D" or in
color. What gives?!?! Did something happen during the upgrade or do I need
to reset something? This does not seem to be affecting the functionality but
I do not like this at all and need the appearance or "theme" to be back the
way it was! Can anyone PLEASE help!

Much Appreciated!

Mike

Have you checked your Office theme setting already?
What is it said to?

When composing a new message, press the Office logo at the left top and
click Editor Options.
On the tab Popular there is a drop down list next to Color scheme to set
your theme of choice.
