How Do I Change From Dark Mode to Light Mode in Word?

To switch from Dark Mode to Light Mode in Word, you'll need to adjust the application's settings. Here's how:

Steps to Turn Off Dark Mode in Word

The exact steps depend on your operating system (macOS or Windows):

On macOS:

1. Go to Word in the menu bar.
2. Select Preferences.
3. Click on General.
4. Under the Personalize section, find Turn off Dark Mode and select it.

On Windows:

Word typically follows the system-wide theme settings. Therefore, you would change your Windows theme settings:

1. Click on the Start button.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Select Personalization.
4. Click on Colors.
5. Under Choose your mode, select Light. This will change the default app mode to light, including in Word.

• Alternatively, select Custom to individually set default Windows mode and default app mode.

Additional Notes

• If you want Word to automatically switch between light and dark modes based on your system settings (like macOS's Night Shift schedule), select Auto (where available) in the Word preferences or the system settings.
• Keep in mind that some older versions of Word might have slightly different menu options, but the general principle remains the same: look for appearance or personalization settings within the application's preferences or options.
