888328 2010-05-26 06:15:00 Have XP and MS Word 2007 .

I find the glaring white of the onscreen document page a bit much to cope with on a long day .

Have checked all the possibilities I can find but cannot find a way to change the default colour for this particular item . But surely it is possible . Can anyone help me out?

Many thanks .

To change it permanently This article (answers.yahoo.com) explains -- never tried it, so no idea if it works - I normally change a doc as and when required.

888330 2010-05-26 09:39:00 Mmm. Does that print the colour?! I looked it up in word and it said:
Display a blue window background
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
Select the Blue background, white text check box.


Which I is a display only thing, it still prints normally with black text.

Maybe you could adjust your monitor settings to make it softer?

In your case, perhaps night time setting would be more ideal.
