“This has been a long-requested feature from many of Office Insiders and we’re excited to make it happen,” explains Ali Forelli, a program manager on Microsoft’s Word team. A future update to Word will include the ability to switch the canvas into dark mode, too. Currently, Word has a dark mode that modifies the ribbon and toolbars, but the canvas stays bright white.
The software maker has started testing an update to Word that will color entire documents in a dark canvas. Microsoft is improving the dark mode in Word to make it even darker.
