Microsoft Word is a popular word processing application that has been around for many years now. It is used by millions of people all over the world, and it has a lot of features that make it an excellent choice for business and personal use. One of the most popular features of Microsoft Word is its dark mode, which makes it easier to read text in the application. This mode is available on both the desktop and mobile versions of Microsoft Word. If you are using Microsoft Word on your computer, you can enable dark mode by going to the Options menu and selecting General Settings. Then, under Appearance, you will find Dark Mode. Once you have enabled dark mode, your computer will start displaying text in a more subdued color than usual. If you are using Microsoft Word on your mobile device, there is also a dark mode option available. You can go to the App Store or Google Play and search for “Microsoft Word Dark Mode” to find the app with this feature. Once you have installed the app, open it and select “Dark Mode” from the list of options.


Microsoft Word has offered an optional dark mode for a while now, providing a better reading and editing experience at night. It has been missing from the online version, but that’s finally changing.

Starting today, dark mode in Word is no longer limited to the desktop and mobile apps. Microsoft said that a dark mode in the web app was a top request among Office Insider testers, and now it’s finally available. Once it has finished rolling out, the feature will be accessible from a new ‘Dark Mode’ button in the View tab of the toolbar. Word will also load in dark mode by default if your browser and/or operating system is set to dark mode.

Dark mode switches the entire Word interface to a dark theme, and applies a dark background (and inverted text colors, if necessary) to the document. However, the actual color data of the document isn’t changed, just like with dark mode in the desktop apps.

If you don’t like dark mode, you can switch it off by clicking the same button. There’s also an independent toggle for the style of the document — if you need to quickly check how a document will look when viewed normally (possibly blinding you temporarily), there’s a ‘Switch Background’ button at the bottom of the screen and the View ribbon. The switch button state is also saved to your browser’s cookies, so you don’t need to toggle it again for each document you open.

Dark mode is rolling out now to everyone using Word for the web.
