The fact Microsoft no longer supports Microsoft Office Pro 2003 I personally cannot afford to upgrade due to my income plus I am disabled badly. I recently had problems with my PC Home Premium windows

I have my old Microsoft Office 2003 Professional recently my PC was collected by the PC shop & complete new install of everything office included. It was working fine when it returned but for some reason every page has turned into a Royal Blue Page I cannot find how to revert this or what caused this, No Error report plus I set-up A password for safe keeping but it no longer will recognise the password even though I have the correct password. I use this for very useful letters & as I am Disabled Anyone who can give me the answer I would appreciate very much, Version (11.8411.8405) SP3. Many Thanks, Malcolm.

Malcolm, what exactly do you mean by "royal blue page"? Will your documents still print correctly? It's possible the computer shop turned on one of the Microsoft Windows accessibility options to help you see the screen better, and it is affecting your Microsoft Word.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your Reply, When it came back from the shop everything was how it should have been IE: White paper & to update this further i have just installed my outlook onto my PC as they never had the settings & now my Outlook pages are all royal Blue this was not the case when the shop brought my PC back I do not know what to do I cannot send E-Mails all on Royal (Darkish) Blue yes it writes onto the page in white but the cursor blinks in yellow I know that if you wish to highlight something that is normally yellow & I know you can change that colour as well the colour if you use The Whole page is Blue & my outlook the top address & Subject is white but below where you type your message is Royal Blue rather like the U/K Navy Blue is the best way to describe the page colour in full. Anyone I would be most grateful for advice please as I need to write some important mails as I have been of the internet for Three weeks now & something I ordered has been done wrong but I cannot write to them in royal blue they would think I am mad especially as they are in Germany. Many Thanks, to everyone. crossf"

    Malcolm,

    Word 2003 has a feature for easier readability that turns the background of the text editing area to blue and the font color to white. The idea is that this will help reduce eye strain. I don't have Word 2003, so I can't check the exact menu names, but try this:

  • WordGoddess Jan 18, 2015

    From the Tools menu, choose Options, then click the General tab.

  • WordGoddess Jan 18, 2015

    Unselect the "Blue background, white text" check box.

  • WordGoddess Jan 18, 2015

    To save this environmental change, close Word and then restart it. (From File, choose Exit, save any documents you want to keep, then restart as you usually do.)

  • WordGoddess Jan 18, 2015

    I don't know how to change the settings in Outlook, but I suspect the menu path will be very similar. In any case, this color change IS ONLY VISIBLE ON YOUR COMPUTER. If you print a document or send an email, the page will just have black letters on it, the email will appear normal to the recipient.

  • WordGoddess Jan 18, 2015

    You could check this by sending an email to a friend or relative.

How can i upgrade my ms word 2003 to ms word 2007?

You need to purchase a copy of Office 2007 (there are various levels you can buy depending on what programs you need)

From there, you can usually just pop in the disk and it will offer to Upgrade your Office 2003 to 2007.

No problem due toupgradation to window7 I am

ok office 2003 is compatable with 7 so we are ok there, but your not telling me is did you upgrade from xp 32/64 bit and is this windows 32/64 bit. are you just trying to install the default folder to a differant location?
try copying the contents of the cd to your drive and install that way. do a system file checker also to make sure no corrupt or missing windows 7 files are causing the issue.

as a back up try this site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212

it may say vista it works for windows 7

let me know ok

Windows Vista and Office Pro 2003

hi, yes you can install office 2003 while you already have office 2007. you just need to change the installation directory when you launch the setup for office 2003. change it into something apart from what office 2007 already is installed in. so what you're trying to say is that you should be entitled to an upgrade to office 2007 if office 2003 doesn't work? i would maybe think so... but no solid answer for that one.
