Dark themes deliver an elegant look while reducing eye strain—ideal for long hours at the computer. Microsoft Office 2016 includes a built-in dark theme to help.
Open any Office 2016 app, like Word or Excel. Go to File > Account, locate Office Theme, and select Dark Gray from the dropdown. This syncs the theme across all Office apps on computers linked to your account.
If you prefer local changes or the first method doesn't apply, try this:
Head to File > Options > General. Under Customize your copy of Microsoft Office, choose Dark Gray for Office Theme and click OK.
Unlike the account method, this updates only the current computer.
