I'm wondering if there's any way to invert the colors in Microsoft Office Word - that is, view white text on a black background. I mainly ask because I'm used to dark color schemes a la Notepad++ themes and similar, and so much white space is really hard on the eyes in my environment.

I love Word, but want a sane color scheme - any options? The product version is Office 2007 if that helps.

Some weird kludge or hack would also be acceptable :)

Word is designed to show the document you're working on in as close to WYSIWYG mode as it can manage, which means white background and black (or coloured) text. Haven't found a way to set a different background colour, but any text colour you set will result in that colour being printed which is probably not what you're looking for as a result.
