How can I make Office 2003 Desktop & Toolbar icons brighter & shar
How can I make Office 2003 Desktop & Toolbar icons brighter & sharper?
In Office 97 the Desktop and Toolbar icons for WORD and EXCEL are brightly colored and sharp. In Office 2003 the Desktop and Toolbar icons' colors are soft and pastel and the icon images have a matte finish (having little or no contrast). Since there are now 37 of us that use Office 2003 that are over 55 and our vision is not what it was when we were 18, it would be nice to have icons and other visual artifacts in Office that are easy to discern. (Or did I miss the point that this is really an eye test?) So, are there options and/or settings that I can use to get Office 2003, and ONLY Office 2003, Desktop and Toolbar icons more brightly colored and sharper? |
