The tip about making a bootable usb was very helpful, I was wondering whether there is a way someone could make an xp bootable usb. Please help if there is any hint on how to.
I would have liked an option for a more traditional black font on white background option for visually impared persons. I find the font coloring on the Calendar view particularly dificult to see with the light font on the simular colored background. It seems like the font settings are not as granular for customizing as it should be. I was disappointed with the 3 theme selections.
The Microsoft office 2010 and its fixed triple colour schemes options, has invariably effected millions of visually impaired people globally. Why Microsoft does not adhere to the display properties designed most suitably for many people to enhance visual capacities, I DO NOT KNOW. Current and it seems future Microsoft programs, including windows media player, does not help visually impaired people. I struggle with all 2010 office programs which I payed good money for, and have effectively been “locked out” of seemingly good upgrades, but ineffective visual options for the blind. Get your act right Microsoft and think of us infirmed folks. Regards J Whitehead.
I can’t stand the font display properties and though not visually impaired, the lack of black on white as an option is maddening!
Seriously? Why doesn’t Office 2010 honor the visual theme established by the underlying windows settings?
Yes, people may very specifically have visual needs that custom color settings help with.
My hangup with this is simply that this is a global Office 2010 setting and when one app (like OneNote) is laying on top of another app (like Outlook) and neither are active they basically merge visually into one big confusing mess.
And yet, if it honored the visual setting established at the core Windows level, you would get clearer borders and easier to distinguish app window panes.
Or is it that I am not ‘HIP’ and ‘With it’ because I ‘just don’t get it’. And the fact that I am not running an OS that supports Aero by default (Win 2k8 Server) for my work desktop probably proves that point, doesn’t it.
What, no separate themes? I’d like for example to use Blue for Word and Excel and Black for Outlook. If is set it on color in a program it sets it like that in ALL programs, what the……??
I remember before this Office suite was even launched Microsoft was going on about how they might release a free express type version that was ad supported.
I wonder what happened to that idea
@Meh:
They released it. It’s called Microsoft Outlook Starter, and as far as I can tell it’s just Word and Excel, and they’re ad-supported.
Can you turn off the theme colors for your “report” in the access database??
Most retarded & useless “tip & trick” post of all time.
Why don’t you post insutrctions on “how to open doors quickly & easily just by grabbingit by one hands and turning a knob”.
Problem is NOT how to change color theme which only a complete monkey idiot wouldn’t know how, problem is there’re 3 choices ONLY.\
That is beyond idiocy. We are attemping to understand which idiot ay Microsoft decided that 3 themes is all to offer, as opposed to good old Office 2003 & older which COMPLIED with Windows-wide (system) colors chosen by user, not by Microsoft.
But now comes you with your tip how to change between 3 choices.
Frigging retard.
