Office Button missing

[Wasted]

Hi Using Office 2007, the other components of Office such as Word & Excel
have a Microsoft Office Button, top left of screen. I don't get this button
with Outlook 2007 though.

I noticed this because I want to change the colour scheme, and it seems that
I have to do that through options available in that button.

Should it be there?

Thanks

Outlook's main interface did not get the ribbon or the new Office interface
in Office 2007. In will probably be in Office Next. Feel free to continue to
use Outlook as you did before. Everything is still there.
All the Outlook Item screens have the ribbon and new Office interface.

Thanks Russ - interesting though, because I used the Help files to try to
find out how to change the colour scheme in Outlook, and they clearly show
using the Office Button to change this in Outlook.

Is there any way to change the colour system - I find the blue used to be
too "in your face"

Thanks

Not sure what Help files you're seeing but all the ones I see tell you
exactly what to do and it's the same thing I told you to do. Access the
Office Button from any open Outlook Item > Editor Options > Popular. Pick
whatever Color scheme you want there.
You could also easily have done the same from any other Office application
you are using. You don't have to do it from Outlook.

Aahhh - I didn't realise you meant that an Outlook item had to be OPEN - now
I see it. I would have preferred more than 3 colour options, but can live
with "Silver".

I also hadn't appreciated that changing the colour in any of the Office
applications would change it in all of them. I didn't particularly want
that, but it's fine.

Many thanks
