MSOffice2k Menu/Menuitem Text

July 29, 2008 12:41 AM from

I may have asked this eons ago, but is there a way to get the menu font in MSO2k to change?

I've set all the Fonts for Classic Widgets to match my skinned menu font & text everywhere else matches except in Office.

Unskinned menu font in PSP8:

Menu font in Word2K:

I'm using Tahoma so the font face matches, but not the size. Is this user-changeable or is the font size hard-coded in Office2K?

Thanks!

The menus in office 2000 are not real menus. They are custom toolbar like controls and will not skin. I am not sure what font they are using, but it may be the system titlebar font.

Thanks very much, Neil. I suspected as much. I changed the toolbar-like menu fonts & all the Classic Widget fonts without affecting it; the titlebar font showing in Windows Display Properties is the one I want, not the one Office is using, so it looks like MS hard-coded the font face & size within the app. Gotta love MS for breaking their own rules.
