Please restore the white-text-on-blue-background for Word 2007!

[Flash2007]

PLEASE restore the white-text-on-blue-background option for Word 2007! I saw
one blogger who claimed WTBB was only used by a miniscule percentage of Word
users, but that is NOT TRUE! There are MANY users that I personally know who
use it and we're all devastated that Word 2007 has dropped it as an option.
PLEASE restore this option immediately!

No matter how many users you know personally who use this feature, they will
still be a minuscule percentage of Word users. Do you have any idea how many
Word users there are?

Dear Suzanne,

You and I are not taking surveys here. I'm simply passing along a request
for an OPTION which you don't have to use, but I would hope that you don't
attempt to undermine my request by suggesting that my tiny local survey was
misleading. Neither of us has done a numerically significant survey, nor was
that the basis for my request. But I think we CAN agree that what I'm asking
for can only HELP users, not hurt them, and surely there are many other
options that are already in Word that will be used by smaller fractions of
users than one that makes it easier to SEE the screen! How can anyone be
against THAT?

No one is against it - it is merely that your expectations are unreallistic.
By all means ask Microsoft to put this back, but don't be too surprised if
they don't.

Why is that unrealistic? We're talking about a VERY significant feature for
people with eye problems and disabilities. And a VERY minor and easy tweak
for Microsoft.

It seems to me that they are snub those of us with disabilities. Eye
problems affected by stark, bright light aren't fun; be happy you don't have
them, and a little more sympathetic to those that do.
