You don't necessarily need to go that far, you can use the Page Color and
the font will automatically change to a white text, provided you are
using
theme colors, that is.
When you say theme colors do you mean Windows theme or are there Word
themes
as well?
A bit of both. If you want the font color to automatically switch when the
Page Color is changed then use the Automatic color from the Windows theme.
Word has three UI themes/color schemes, found in the Popular section of Word
Options (you won't like these because they don't change the page
background), and Office 2007 documents support Themes.
Document Themes are found on the Page Layout tab. They provide Fonts, Color,
and Effects to documents and are shared across the Office application. If
you want to see how they work then create a new document using a template
from Microsoft Office Online and then select another Theme. You'll see the
three elements automatically update to those of the new theme in the
document. (Except for Effects - Word only uses those for a few elements.)
If you're looking for the blue background/white text look then if your font
color uses the Automatic font color, on the Page Layout tab, select the Dark
blue color and you'll see the switch to a dark background/white font. To
switch them back just remove the Page Color.
