How to use NEW Dark Mode in Microsoft Word<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those of you who are familiar with the \u2018dark mode\u2019 feature within Microsoft Word, you will be aware that this has been available for some time. This can be really useful if you are sitting in front of a document for a while as it can begin to strain your eyes so this feature is great as an alternative preference.<\/p>\n

However, the Dark Theme in Word is now even more extensive.<\/p>\n

So, what has changed?<\/p>\n

Previously, you could use Word with a dark ribbon and toolbars, but your document colour stayed bright white. Now, Dark Mode in Word offers a dark canvas as well!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with the \u2018dark mode\u2019 theme take a look at how you can use it\u2026<\/p>\n

Microsoft Office includes black and dark gray themes which are available in apps including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint.<\/p>\n

To change your theme, click the \u201cFile\u201d menu at the top left corner of an Office application - Word, Excel, Outlook, or PowerPoint:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click the \u201cAccount\u201d option in the sidebar. On the right, open the \u201cOffice Theme\u201d dropdown menu, and then select your desired theme.<\/p>\n

The default theme in Office 2016 is \u201cColorful,\u201d but you can also select \u201cWhite\u201d if you would rather see starker whites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To enable dark mode, select \u201cBlack\u201d for the darkest possible Office style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also select \u201cDark Gray.\u201d This theme uses a lighter dark gray which you might prefer if you find the Black theme too dark.<\/p>\n

You can also select a different \u201cOffice Background\u201d from here. For example, if you would rather not see a design behind Office\u2019s ribbon bar, click the \u201cOffice Background\u201d box and select \u201cNo Background.\u201d<\/p>\n

These theme and background settings affect all Microsoft Office applications on your system. They even affect Office applications on other Windows PCs, assuming you sign into them with the same Microsoft account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a second place where you can choose your theme, too. To find it, click File > Options. Ensure the \u201cGeneral\u201d category is selected and look for the \u201cPersonalize your copy of Microsoft Office\u201d section. Click the \u201cOffice Theme\u201d box and choose your desired theme. Click \u201cOK\u201d to save your changes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most effective change to this theme is that the canvas (document) will also change to the dark theme.<\/p>\n
