I hear the blue screen/white text option is gone from Office 2007.
They say it's because nobody uses it and it's a by-product of a by-
gone era.
How does Microsoft know how many people use it? Many do not know
about it and if they did, I'm sure a lot more people would use it.
Practically all the attorneys in my firm use the blue screen/white
text. Staring at a bright white screen all day gets old, and once
someone tries the blue screen for a bit, it is relieving. It reduces
eye strain---cool blue with white text isn't as harsh on the eyes as
a glaring white screen with black letters.
The firm will likely not upgrade to Office 2007 because, in addition
to the interface making pretty much no sense, it doesn't have the blue
screen option. Oh well, Microsoft's loss.
