| | Re: Changing the background from bright white to ? In OpenOffice the background color can be changed to your liking. I imagine you can do the same in MS Office. You can save the doc or spreadsheet in a convenient place and launch it to open the program. In Windows Mail you can choose a stationary and set it as your default.
