How are active Documents, backgrounds darkened?
Hi,
I'm a new user of Office and have Office Ultimate 2007 for students. I'm wondering if Office Products, specifically Word, Excell, Outlook, allow to darken backgrounds? Not backrounds of the application, for example in Word the document I'm typing or in Outlook the reading pane, mail folders, received mail area. I was able to use stationary in Outlook, but everything else is white, which blurrs my vision worse than it is. I do remember Word 2003 I believe had an option to make default document colors a bluish color, but I would like the choice of how dark. Is there anyway this can be accomplished? Thank you very much |

At this time there are only three color schemes. I found I had to tone down
the brightness of my monitors since using Office 2007. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "GianRoss" wrote in message ...

Hi GianRoss,
The carryover from WordPerfect DOS (white text on blue background) was dropped after Word 2003. To change the document working background, if your'e in Windows XP you can right click on the desktop and use Appearance=Advanced=Window to tone down the Windows main text area to an offwhite or a grey, but that change will affect most apps, not just the Office ones and also changes other Windows elements that use the 'Window' background color. Powerpoint 2007, although it will show a background default color to match the setting you make in 'Format Background', still shows white on screen when you select the 'Automatic' fill (your Window color) default. You may also find that in the Desktop Properties=Settings=Advanced=Monitor that changing the Monitor screen refresh rate may help if you're sensitive (as some folks with migranes are) to certain refresh rates of a certain Hz setting, while many of us aren't aware of those settings. ========== "GianRoss" wrote in message ...
