1) I want the screen to look like WP. remember, when Word first went for
marketshare, Word perfect was the 600 pound gorilla.
2) Some people feel it's easier on the eyes.

We recently got Word 2002 and I've been tooling around in the options and
such to familiarize myself with it. In the Options screen on the General
tab, there's a checkbox to set word to display a doc with white text on a
blue background.
Aside from personal preference, why would someone want to do this? I guess
I'm wondering why this is such an important option that its a checkbox.
