Hi.

I'm wondering if there's any way I can "tone down" the bright white screen (Win7) when I'm working with documents ??
[I don't need to reduce brightness for anything else.]

When I have a lot of them to see to I find the glaring whiteness starts to get to me !!

Cheers.

Are you asking how to add a tinted background to MS Word documents?

That setting is usually in your Monitor options.

Hi - And thank you both for such swift replies !!

Jenny100 :

My version of "Word" is very old (it's from 2003). [I should have mentioned that, sorry.]
And I don't think it offers the options shown in that video.
It's mostly fine for what I need these days - but it looks like it doesn't offer the ability to tone down the bright white


Draclvr :

Yes, I thought about monitor controls myself but wouldn't dimming the brightness affect everything, not just documents ??

Cheers.

Yes, there's the rub and unfortunately Microsoft stopped supporting Office 2003 at the same time as XP.

Word 2003 does have options for background color.

Thank you, Jenny100. I really appreciate that help. No more "glaring at me" documents in the future !!
