Microsoft Office Word 2013 text selection color issue


Question

Hi,

 

Recently, I've notice that in Word 2013, whenever I select texts, the selection color is black. If I remember correctly, the color is suppose to be a light grey. PowerPoint seems to have the color correct while Word 2013 doesn't. What is causing this?

I somehow don't have Office 2013, but I see what you mean in 2010. I can reproduce the black selection highlight if I select the High Contrast theme (oh god, my eyes) in Windows 8 - have you by any chance modified the visual style, or installed a uxtheme/uxstyle-like modification?

...Really? lol dude, it's fine.

 

Am I not allowed to ask about issues here, even if it's a small one?

I don't have any modify theme installed. I recently did a refresh and reinstalled office, however the issue still persists.

Weird problem. Tried switching to high contrast and back to the default theme, just for kicks?

 

I guess the re-installation should take care of any system-level issues, but have you tried checking whether you see this under a new user account?

Each program have own color...  look at the app title.  Word has black...  PowerPoint has gray.

 

Especially the colored tabs each program...  blue tab, red  tab...

Here I am two years later with the same problem. This is probably the 6th forum thread I've looked at.
Y'all were jerks! And you obviously didn't understand the issue the guy was having. I hope you felt really intelligent posting useless information for link6155

Anyways, if anyone is willing to help me out with this issue I'd be more than grateful:

afaik, selection color is system driven.  I would try zhangm's suggestion or Dan~'s.

 

@NinjaMage please do not bump old threads.  Locking this one but feel free to start a new thread with your question.

 

Thanks.

    • WhatsApp document scanning gets closer to launch as more beta testers get access by Paul Hill Meta looks as though it’s getting closer to releasing WhatsApp’s native document scanner on Android because more people are now reporting they have access in the beta. This will give users a privacy-friendly way to snap photos of documents and automatically convert them to PDF ready for sharing. According to WABetaInfo, the feature comes with two modes: manual and automatic. The manual capture gives users more control over the process allowing them to adjust positioning and lighting to get the best quality scan. Automatic mode on the other hand automatically detects the edge of your document on its own and snaps the image without too much user input, making it faster and easier. Once the picture is taken, WhatsApp automatically converts it to a PDF file so that it can be shared and opened easily by the recipient. The file can be sent within private chats or group conversations. The entire scanning and conversion process takes place locally on your device, using Android’s built-in API for snapping documents. The document itself is also only stored locally until you decide to send it. Just like other WhatsApp messages, these scans are secured with end-to-end encryption when you send them to recipients. The only privacy risk is the user sending the PDF to the wrong person. The new feature was first noticed for Android a few weeks ago and with the latest beta it’s rolling out to more people. Once Meta has tested it across a wide array of devices, we will likely see it land for people on the stable version of WhatsApp. In recent weeks, we have also seen that Meta is testing new chat color themes in the beta releases. That feature doesn’t seem to have filtered down to the stable version yet, so be on the lookout for that too if that’s of interest to you.
