More on Microsoft Office 2013

Further to yesterday's post, I have been able to retain Office 2010 on my hard drive and have begun using Word 2013.

White background everywhere is unsustainable, so I have opted for the max contrast, dark grey shade.

It may be an optical illusion but the black fonts seem less intense in 2013 (greyish shade numbers 42 ?), and are harder to focus on, seeming to have a blurred look about them.

There can be no illusion about some of the dialogue boxes, especially the font chooser- the text is definitely blurred and greyish rather than black (grey shades 37-43?), and headache seems imminent.
With great regret as an early adopter, I am going back to Word 2010.

Judgment reserved on other elements of the Office package.
