To switch a Microsoft app from dark mode to light mode, follow these steps within each app individually:
- Open the Microsoft App: Launch the specific Microsoft application you want to change (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
- Access Settings: Look for the settings or options menu. This is usually found under "File" and then "Options," or sometimes in a dedicated "Settings" menu.
- Navigate to General Settings: Within the settings window, find the "General" tab.
- Personalize: Under the "Personalize" section (or similar, depending on the app version), look for an option related to themes or color schemes.
- Turn Off Dark Mode: Select the option to "Turn off Dark Mode" or choose a "Light" theme from the available options. If there is a dropdown, choose the "Light" theme.
- Apply to all apps (Optional): Some versions of Microsoft apps may offer a system-wide theme setting, which will apply to all apps using the Microsoft design language. If this is the case, select the setting that uses the system settings or offers a general light mode option.
- Repeat for Other Apps: Remember that this setting only affects the app you are currently in. If you want light mode in multiple Microsoft apps (like Word and Excel), you will need to repeat these steps in each one.
For Example, in Microsoft Word:
- Open Word.
- Go to File > Options.
- Select the General tab.
- Under "Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office" find the "Office Theme" dropdown.
- Choose White or System Setting if your system is set to light mode.
By following these steps in each Microsoft app, you can easily switch from dark mode to light mode and customize your user experience.
