I'm not sure if the MS Office programs use Colorsync. Type "Colorsync" into
the Office Help thingie and you get bupkis. Maybe it assumes sRGB? or does
it use the Colorsync settings in your system prefs? I'd be really surprised
if the latter was true, but it would be a nice surprise.
As to the rest of your apps, did you use the load/save feature of the Adobe
ones to make sure the color settings are the same?

heh. "cogent" and "color management" are a little oxymoronic. it took me
forever to figure this stuff out and the total lack of good documentation
didn't help. for a good explanation of all this stuff, get "Real World Color
Management." I've yet to find a web site or any other book that explains
this stuff well to the newcomer.
