Well that is Office XP's look. It could be an OS other that Windows XP

Office XP has nothing to do with Winblows XP. I won't install Winblows XP, but you can have Office XP installed without it without problem.

The old style menu definitely looks better than the new XP menu. I'm running Office 2000 under Windows XP, and the Office is OK but I don't like the XP... but at least you can put the Windows XP into the 'classic' menu mode to make it look somewhat normal. Sorry, don't know how to fix the Office XP...

My new computer came with Windows XP for the OS. It's too candy imo. with little bubble boxes popping up everywhere like i am reading an interactice comic book. I keep waiting for Dr Seuse to run out on the screen and say
See file,
See file run,
See file r ,

Not another XP bashing thread. I thought you all got that out of your systems with the Last one...

I checked my menus, and they're all standard Windows style. You've probably already done this, but try:
1) Right-click on the desktop
2) Choose Properties
3) Choose the Appearance tab
4) Change "Windows and buttons" to "Windows Classic style"
5) Change "Color scheme" to "Windows Classic"

Of course, not owning Office XP, I might not know about any special settings it might have.
