I had the smae problem in my office 2007 on windows 7.

the soulotion was quite simple.



get into personalize and sipmly change your theme, then reopen your office application and it's all fine.



If you have windows XP i think that gettin into display setting and set new theme might solve that there to.

Office 2007 Display Color Missing

15-Jun-07



My office 2007 Display is mising the colors in the windows, it looks like a

4-bit color display. I am running dual monitors and when I disable the second

monitor the colors come back. Has anyone else seen this? I can send you a

screenshot if you want.



Thanks

Kevin

See this post below, for a screen shot, from other people who have the same

issue, some have NVidia cards and ATI cards all with the latest drivers. I do

not think it is a video driver issue. I think it is how the colors are being

displayed by Office 2007 apps. All other apps work fine, they show in 32-bit,

only the office 2007 apps show in 4-bit color....

I seriously doubt its the video drivers or cards. I have seen this as well,

and it doesnt affect all computers. My little notebook is handling dual

monitors just fine, and the desktops affected have much stronger video cards.

I had this issue as well and the only solution was to rebuild the system. If

I disabled all my extra monitors and went down to one the colors came back

but as soon as I enabled a second monitor the colors dropped to 8 bit. I

tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2007, no joy. I tried removing

all my graphics programs, no joy. I tried a very basic boot using MSCONFIG,

no joy. I tried deleting my NT.DAT file, no joy. I tried uninstalling,

removing all Office reg keys and files and then rebooting/reinstalling, no

joy. I eventually just rebuilt the system and now everything is back to

normal. Oh yeah and I tried the latest drivers (which were supplied by MS by

the way via AutoUpdate), no joy.



I seriously doubt after doing all the above that this is a simple driver

issue. The video cards I have are pretty darn powerful and I have been

running multi-monitor systems for years without issue until now with Office

2007. Considering I have read other threads that say this issue also occurs

with 2003 as well then I have to think the problem lies somewhere else

besides the video card drivers.



Of course I do remember years ago when the video card drivers did cause

massive issues with Win98 and Win2K and MS took the brunt of that criticism

before it came to light that nVidia and ATI were largely to blame so I will

withold judgement but at this point it seems to be an update or an OS issue

rather than a hardware/driver issue IMHO.
