Word 2010 - blue screen for docs

[carolynkerr]

In Word 2007 you could tell it you wanted to use a blue screen for display purposes only - can you do this in Word 2010?

I think it probably stems back to users changing from Wordperfect to Word where they were used to looking at a blue screen - we still have some users who want this !

Thanks

This feature was available in Word 2003 and before (indeed to accommodate WordPerfect users). It had already been discontinued in Word 2007, as far as I know. Microsoft claims that user research showed that very few people were actually using it, so it was removed.

You could, of course, apply a blue background to a document and set the font colour to white, but that's inconvenient, since you'd have to change it each time you wanted to print the document.
