Fonts in Office '07 Products

Post by tscards »

Yuck! I had the Office '07 package (outlook, excel, word, access...) installed at work last week. Hate the fonts & trying to use 'clear type' to get them to be at a level that won't give me a headache. Just looked terrible & fuzzy & now there's a little bit of blue/redness to them, but at least viewable.

Fun Fact: Microsoft chose Calibri as the default font in Office '07 products because it uses less ink to print, saving customers money on ink costs!

There just seems to be bizarre coloring on the screen in that font - I see some red and black. I just want a basic black font that doesn't hurt my eyes.

I "think" I've been able to get something that will work, but not in all programs, which is annoying. It'd be nice if Outlook, Excel, Access, Control Panel, Explorer..... could just all use one global font, and I just can't find it. :x
