Well, I don’t do anything beyond black and white in Word. Word is just for the text. The text goes into Dreamweaver or InDesign files. I NEVER EVER design in Word. I prefer to see the spaces and tabs because I need to know if there are double spaces when there shouldn’t be or more than one tab. I’ll discuss tab formatting in another Word Tips article.

I’m surprised you say you want it to show spaces and such because you’re a designer, and yet you want the colors to be inverted (so nothing looks to you like it will to anyone else) I guess that’s ok for basic formating of text but anything beyond black and white is gonna get a little crazy.

Unless you’re using a CRT screen writing in white on black does not save any energy. The florescent tube (or LEDs) still light up just as bright behind the LCD screen for black or white.

And if you’re using a CRT and worried about energy do yourself a favor and switch over to a newer LCD, it’s way more efficient.

Very interesting post Stephanie. Certainly change the way we will do things in the future.

I didn’t think inverting the background color would look pleasant but I’m surprised to say that I loove it! I spend quite some time in word with drafts and documentations so this was a great tip!

Cheers!
