    Office theme

    There must have been a recent office update because some Microsoft guru has decided that my theme has to be "colorful." I want "white." I found it in options, general tab. I changed it and saved my change. The next time I open an Excel file, it is fine, but the time after that it is colorful again. I have tried this several times now just opening a blank Excel page, and the problem is consistent.

    How do I fix this? Or can I?

    Re: Office theme

    Is your version of Office on a network (ie work related) or at home?
    If it's work related it may be a setting on the network.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Re: Office theme

    This is happening on my work computer, but it is not part of a network. It doesn't seem to matter whether I open a blank worksheet or an existing Excel file. I tried again this morning with the same result as yesterday. The first time I open it, it is fine. The second time, the theme has changed. I'll change it back and save my changes but it will revert to the incorrect theme the second time an Excel file is opened.

    I checked both Outlook and Word and discovered the same problem, so I attempted a Quick Repair but got an error message. My working assumption is that I have something wrong with Microsoft Office, but we have a bid due tomorrow and I don't have time to mess with it and possibly screw something up.
