Coloured titles in Word "Dave" <Dave[ at ]virgin.net> 6/22/2007 7:37:30 AM I am using Office 2003 on a Vista Business PC. On checking my documents folder, some of the Word document titles are in green, rather than the standard black type. It does not alter the behavior of the document as far as I can tell. Can any advise why / how this has happened ? If it is an option to change the colour of the titles, then that could be useful for grouping files. Thank you

Re: Coloured titles in Word "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 6/22/2007 8:48:24 AM It probably signifies that the fiels are compressed. On Windows XP, compressed files were displayed in blue. I am not running Vista, but this seems the most likely explanation. You can set Windows not to compress files. Use folders to group files. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Dave wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am using Office 2003 on a Vista Business PC. > On checking my documents folder, some of the Word document titles are > in green, rather than the standard black type. > It does not alter the behavior of the document as far as I can tell. > > Can any advise why / how this has happened ? > > If it is an option to change the colour of the titles, then that > could be useful for grouping files. > > Thank you

Re: Coloured titles in Word "Dave" <Dave[ at ]virgin.net> 6/23/2007 12:26:58 PM Thank you for the reply. I don't think the documant is compressed as it is a copy of another document and the size is the same. I copied another word document to see if making a copy produces green titles but no. I nave gone into properties for the files and the only differnce I can see is with orinignal file black font Detail > Attributes A Copy file Details > Attributes AE "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> wrote in message news:uaKUYoKtHHA.736[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
