Tamar,

What you did does work for me too. But that is not the issue I was having trouble with.

My problem is with the "Menu" Item color and the "Font" Color. They simply refuse to work for me in Office 2000 (Word, Excel, Outlook) menus.

Can you (or anyone else) verify that I am not going nuts here? I'm using Office 2000 and Windows 2000 Pro.

Mike
