Where is the blue screen, white text, option?

[Kip]

Did this go away in 2007? If so I won't be buying. Staring at a white screen
all day while writing is really hard on my eyes.

 

[CyberTaz]

Yes, it's gone. You can try using the Background color, but that doesn't
change the text.

 

[Opinicus]

Yes, it's gone.

What!? Does MS market test its products *at all*?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Yes, and it found that only a minuscule fraction of Word users used BBWT.
Try changing your window color to something more soothing than white (I use
ivory).

 

[Kip]

I won't be upgrading in that case. I'll stick with 2003 until they come to
their senses and add it back. Background doesn't work because then it prints,
and who wants to remember to change the colors every time you want to print
something.

Not trying to persuade you one way or the other, but Background doesn't
print unless you select the option to have it do so. It still may not be a
viable option for those who prefer the BBWT. I would imagine here may be
(soon if not already) 3rd party options for W2007.

Or buy a better monitor and set the display correctly.

And that's a justification for REMOVING the option?

Sorry but that was the last nail in the Office 2007 coffin as far as I'm
concerned. We'll stick with Office XP (in my case) and with Office 2003 (in
my wife's case).
