Why do my Microsoft Word documents have a blue background?My Microsoft word for microsoft office has a backgroung colour problem. Everytime I open a document into it, the colour turns blue; which is not very to read from and definetely not the original background colour. I tried to change it from the format menu and select backgound but it keeps doing that all the time. Could you please tell me how can I restore the original colours. Don't panic. Believe it or not, I think you've actually found a feature of Microsoft Word, not some sort of bug in your documents or computer. For legibility sake, Word allows you to specify white text on a blue background in addition to the more common black text against a white background. Obviously, you don't want to leave it setup that way, so let me show you how to change it in Microsoft Word for the Mac - it's basically the same for the Windows version of Word too. Start up Microsoft Word and go to Preferences (on the PC it's "Options..."), then click on the General option. The choices look like this:  The third option down, "blue background, white text", is what you have accidentally checked. Simply uncheck it, click Okay and your document -- and future documents you open in Microsoft Word -- should be back to normal. Notice a few more options here too: "Show Project Gallery at startup" is one that many Word users are delighted to turn off once they've gotten the hang of using the program, and "WYSIWYG font and styles menus" can make it quite a bit easier to work with complex styles in particular, but it's also cool for fonts too. Hope that gets you back with Word.

I had a blue background under the text, I tried turning off highlight in case it was on, but nothing. I tried what you said on this page, but it was not that. It ended up having shading turned on. Posted by: William Winter at December 19, 2008 10:15 AMHi, I have an issue on a PC where the box is not checked for blue background, white text in Options; but whenever I open a template, the template appears with a blue background and white text and has other issues as well. Do you know how to fix this issue? Many thanks Posted by: Sara at January 8, 2009 9:52 PMerase all in blue highlights Posted by: liz at September 9, 2009 12:05 PMHello there. Could we change the background with an image or wallpaper instead of boring blue, silver and black? Looks boring though and I would like to make the Microsoft Office Word 2010 more personal. :) Posted by: yoyomandroid at February 23, 2010 10:05 AMThis happened on my work computer and was making me crazy, even the company techs couldn't figure it out. Thank you, your directions worked:> Posted by: V at March 28, 2011 2:51 PMGreat answer about the blue background. I have actually been trying to get my microsoft to do this because it it easier on eyes while working. However, I have the new microsoft. do you know how to do it on the new one as well? Posted by: Lauren at September 7, 2011 9:52 AMI have something to say, now that you mention it, but ...
