Word 2007 should let me change the general theme color.

[Guest]

The new look of Word 2007 is great, but I think that it should give me the
option of the general color or "tonality" of the theme. Currently it seems to
be blue by default and everything is "blue-ish". Why can't I make it
"red-ish" or whatever? I think this would be a great addition to the final
product.
Thanks!

There is such an option, but currently there are only two color schemes. The
default blue and a grey vista theme. You can change this by clicking on the
Office button and then on "Word Options". Right there you should see an
option saying "Color Scheme".

And how can I create my own scheme?
Or are there other schemes than "windowx XP (blue) " and "Windows Vista
(gray)" available for download?

Thanks

Sorry to say, "what you see is what you get". There are no other themes, and
there's no way to define your own.

The XP Olive would be nice, even if we are not to be allowed to twiddle on
our own!

Hi James,

While you can't presently theme Office on its own you can apply a Windows color scheme to 'everything' by using the Accessibility
tools in Windows to select any saved appearance set through the 'high contrast' dropdown list.
