WB5 and Office 2007 Beta 2

I just installed Office 2007 beta 2 a few days ago...great upgrade!!!

But...WB does not skin the Office 2007 apps ...is this due to the major UI change in Office 2007? Will this be addressed soon?

I'm pretty sure that WB doesn't skin MS Office of any flavor.

It's not skinning mine and I have 2003.

I read it here somewhere but I'm hard pressed to find it now.

It did skin older versions (skins Office XP just fine), but I don't think that WB can skin the newest version due to it using its own skin. Sort of like how WB doesn't skin Windows Live Messenger.

I misspoke. Sorry.

It does skin Office 2003. It was the skin I was using that didn't.

I seldom use it so I got it wrong.

I've actually added a suggestion to the Office suggestion board to at least provide an option to revert to normal Windows interface elements for this. While I don't *dislike* the new interface, I don't really like something that doesn't play well with WB. But, then again, the Office group has never fully followed the usual Windows interfaces, there's always something that's different.
