Thanks for your reply. There is a way of doing it. After fiddling around with the system yesterday, I worked it out.
You have to be in Word, click on the Office Button, then select Word Options, then change colour scheme from Blue to Silver.
There is only an option for three colours, but silver is what I wanted. It changes it in Excel too.

Thanks
Regards
Irena
