High Contrast: Dark Black background w/ White text default.
My eyes are not what they used to be, so staring at a bright white screen
with black text is getting to be a bit of a hassle. Is there any way to set black as the default background color rather than change it manually every time I open a document? I have tried editing the template, but that only changes text color and not the background. Any help would be appreciated. Cory |

Hi ?B?Q29yeQ==?=,
My eyes are not what they used to be, so staring at a bright white screen with black text is getting to be a bit of a hassle. Is there any way to set black as the default background color rather than change it manually every time I open a document? I have tried editing the template, but that only changes text color and not the background. How are you changing this, now? As far as I know, Word only supports blue background with white text. I don't care for "hard white", either. So I usually go into the Windows screen settings and change the "Appearance" for "Window text". (In order to tell you how to do this, you'd need to tell us the version of Windows you're using.)

Hi ?B?Q29yeQ==?=,
Currently I am changing the documents background and text color in the Format Menu every time I load it. You mean the document isn't saving this setting when you close it? Have you tried recording these actions in a macro? If you name it AutoOpen (and make sure it's saved in the Normal.dot template) it should execute every time you open a document.
