Well, here we are, a year-and-a-half later, and combing through the comments
on this issue I still can't find an answer to the sane request below, much
less to the question of why the hell they did this! Has there been any new
and helpful information about this problem?

Bob ... are you serious?! WHY did Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom,
eliminate such a useful option? They're CRAZY!

You mentioned that "the 'paper' color can be changed by modifying the
Windows display appearance settings." But I need more detailed instructions
than that. I want just MS Word to have blue background and white text, not
my other programs such as Outlook, etc. So, could you please send
step-by-step "click on this, then that" instructions to set Word up so that
my DEFAULT page comes up every time with white text on the blue background
that we all came to know and love in earlier Word versions? PLEASE??

For Word 2007 the DOS WordPerfect v5.0 compatability setting of White text on blue background has been removed by Microsoft. The
'paper' color can be changed by modifying the Windows display appearance settings.

to set it up to use Blue Background and White Text for the basic typing as
oppossed to the defult White Background / Black text.
