Microsoft is currently working to introduce dark mode to Word for Web

[silversurfer]

Microsoft started working towards adding dark mode support for its Office Suite apps a long ago. Although the company has managed to implement the popular mode in Office apps on multiple platforms, those using the free version on the web can use only the light mode. But this will soon begin to change as Microsoft will soon add dark mode to Word for Web.

According to Microsoft 365 Roadmap page, Microsoft is currently working to introduce dark mode to Word for Web. The feature was added to the Roadmap page a couple of days ago, with general availability happening this month. In other words, the dark mode for the Word web client should be live for everyone before May ends, as per Microsoft. At worst, it might start rolling out in early June.

The Roadmap page doesn't say anything about how users will enable the feature. But for the sake of convenience, Microsoft should implement the feature in such a way that it respects users' system default theme. Also, there should be options to choose between dark and light modes in the settings. Anyhow, we'll know how it works very soon, hopefully.

After delaying it for a few months, Microsoft is finally rolling out Dark Mode for Word for the web to everyone. The feature is no longer limited to Word Mac and Windows clients, and should be available to those who use the free version of Word on the web.

Microsoft announced that it would launch Dark Mode for the Word web client in May, but the company kept delaying the rollout for some reason. While it missed the deadline, the implementation of Dark Mode is equally good as on Word for Mac and Windows. When you enable it, the dark color scheme gets implemented on both the menu controls and the document background.

Moreover, you can switch to Dark Mode without impacting the white background of your document. You can switch between Light and Dark Mode in the Canvas with just a click. If you are pleased with Dark Ribbon and White canvas and never want to see a Dark canvas, Microsoft Word for the web will remember the state of your background toggle.

The rest
