    Hi,

    Unfortunately, we cannot enable aero glass in Office window. This feature is applicable only within the operating system.

     For more information check the below link

     Thanks and Regards:

    Hi Diana. Thank you for your answer but I don't get it.

    I am in Vista Home Premium and all of my windows except from office are with glass. You can see this new screen capture:

    My Question is: Why cannot have Office look glass if all my windows are.

    More clear now?

    Hi,

     Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are worried about.

    But Office 2007 does not have the option to enable aero feature.

    It is only applicable with Windows Vista (Programs with Windows Vista).


     All the Best!

    Thanks and Regards:

    Diana, Hi.

    I was out and just saw this.  I hope you are not telling me that this is not possible:

    http://officeblogs.net/UI/ExcelVista.png

    or

    http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/05/01/587526.aspx

    I am not asking that excel enable aero but why my excel has no such thing even if my vista has it enabled already. Or Excel 2007 is not a program within Vista?

    If this is not the place to ask, please advise where to go for the answer.

    Regards

    Hi,

     

    Aero does work with Office 2007.

    There are numerous reasons why you are not seeing the Aero effects in Office. Video card simply can’t handle the demand of displaying Office in Aero.

    Can you tell me the specification of your computer especially for the video card and the video RAM?

     

     

     

         All the best!

    Hi Diana, Is good to hear that I am correct about this.

    As far as I know. When an program can handle aero, viste turns off the feature for all programs, not just for one isn't?

    here is a screen capture of my photoshop (heavy program) and aero is fine:  http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7655/10588384.jpg


    Here is the info you requested:  "system info" for Display as screen capture:  http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/8730/ati1n.jpg

    Here is my machines configuration:  2GB memory and the rest is from original dell inspiron 1721:  http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1721/en/om_en/html/specs.htm#wp1104587

    (the complete manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1721/en/om_en/html/index.htm)

    If you need something else, please let me know.

    Regards

    Hi,

    I would recommend you to download the latest ATI graphics drivers from the location http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=INS_PNT_PM_1721&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=

    If that does not work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2007.
