If an app is on the exclusion list then it will not be skinned.

The colour scheme will be used though, as this is a system wide thing and cannot be disabled on a per application basis.

You may need to adjust the systemwide colours in the skin using Skinstudio if the particular skin you are using is causing you problems in your office apps.

Neil's the developer of WB so that's why I'm posting a previous exclusion I saw him post if you DO NOT wish to skin Office.

"To make WB pick the blue UI for office you open wb.ini (in the windows directory) and add the following :

[Global]

MakeOfficeBlue = 1

Other numbers will give you the other colour schemes office has hardcoded."

That will do nothing if the app is excluded though, and only impacts the colours of the toolbars in the app.  I suspect his problem is with the colour of the 'paper' in Word etc.
