Blue Background, White Text

The improvements overall to Windows 2007 was very good. However, I am
borderline irate that in Microsoft Word, you took out the blue background,
white text default option. It was much easier on the eyes and I've been using
that as my default screen for a long while now. Yes, you have a blue color
option, but everytime it prints, it prints with a background. This is unlike
Word 2003 where printouts would still be in white. I actually miss the Word
2003 version for this one reason. If at all possible, in future versions
could you please restore that option. It would be greatly appreciated.

Yeh, that's pretty much unacceptable. Just bring back a toggle button or a
checkbox that allows us to switch from normal view to blue background/white
text (or better yet, black background/orange or green text) Because it makes
it much easier on the eyes when you have to sift through many word documents
a day. It also makes it easier for us college students typing up 400 page
term papers.

There are vision problems that cannot be fixed with glasses, please don't
discriminate, or I will have to simply switch to open office, which has this
feature and be done with Word forever.

In case you aren't aware of it, nobody in these newsgroups is a
Microsoft employee. We're all volunteers, trying to help.

If OpenOffice does what you want, use it. Nobody's stopping you.
