        Go to office button -> word options -> popular and be sure that the color is set to blue. Other than that, I don't know.

          Try going to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 search for the application (word is WinWord), right click it > Properties > Compatibility > check that the colour options are unchecked.

              Looks like High-Contrast mode to me, except I can't seem to find anything about it.



              Addressing the comment I quoted directly, Office 12 (now know as Office 2007) continues to have great support for people with low vision, including completely supporting the Windows “High Contrast Black” and “High Contrast White” schemes.
              When a user activates one of the high contrast schemes, we stop using bitmaps to render the UI surfaces and switch to using colors from our “color table.” In the high contrast case, all of the colors in our internal color table need to be mapped to Windows system colors–a hugely difficult and daunting task, given how few discrete colors are available in these modes. Essentially, the colors available map to the objects available in Windows 95; we’re pretty much left on our own to figure out how to map every color in Office to one of these system constants.
              It’s kind of like the world’s biggest sliding tile puzzle, and it’s driving the people working on it slowly insane… but before we ship Office 12, we’ll get it in tip-top shape.

                camper.: okay..thanks for that?

                        I've looked through all sorts of options and cant seem to replicate your problem. But if you can still use the program who the heck cares? Still gets the job done. If you can't type without a graphically intriguing title bar then we have bigger problems to discuss.... try not to get too offended by that. I "Bought" my copy at a store and it works fine. hahahaha

                            Um, how about you stop drilling the kid that you really have no basis on which to do so.

                            Is your windows theme set to normal? I remember that changing all sorts of stuff.
