How to Change the Display Color in Word

Previously Microsoft offered its users with the option of setting a background color wholly dedicated to the background display. By this feature, a user could change his background to any desired color without worrying about it getting printed.

Previously users used to change their text color to white and background to red or blue which provided better visuals for the user to operate with much ease. And while you printed the finished document, the changed colors would revert to normal.

Although after 2002 versions of Microsoft Word, this feature was dissolved, you can still change the background color of your documents with keeping in mind that those changed backgrounds and text colors will also appear in the printout.

If you are going to present a digital presentation for your meeting or assignment you should not be hesitant in applying different background colors and make your presentation much more eye-pleasing and presentable.
