Are you wondering if you can customize how the Office 2016 programs look, making them more personalized and easier on the eyes?

Well, the answer is you can. There are now three different Microsoft Office themes to choose from: colorful, dark gray, and white.

The colorful theme, the default setting, makes it easy to distinguish which Office program you are in because each program has its own bright color. If you’re looking for more contrast try the dark gray, and for less contrast choose white. 

How to Change Your Microsoft Office Theme

1. Open any Microsoft Office 2016 program.
2. Click on the File tab and choose Account.
3. Under the Account options click on the drop down just below Office Theme.
4. Choose an Office Theme.
