It won't really matter where you post it; it's a suggestion that will NOT be
implemented. White text on blue background has been removed from Word 2007
and will not be reinstated.

MS Word 2003 has a white on blue display option; would like to expand to
white on black in Word and Excel. Ideally this is a screen display option
and does not affect colors in printing. Interest groups: migraineurs and
their kin, for whom screen flicker or white light can be painful or
trigger
headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
Color inversion softwares like Zoomtext work but seem to take many CPU
cycles and destabilize the system. Integrating the feature into the
product
would be better. Would MS consult neurologists and non-consensus focus
groups to confirm interest? The median person probably finds white on
black
depressing (see NLP-Neuro Linguistic Programming, 80% of population
visual).
Their needs are already covered by the defaults so aside from not making
the
option so prominent as to be a nuisance, the majority doesn't need to be
consulted again.
Due to customary use of backgrounds in Powerpoint, I'm not sure
implementing
this in Powerpoint would be helpful, and I don't use or know routine
Access
users enough to comment; similarly I can't comment on the html code making
software.
Would this post belong better in "Word Page Layout"?
