How to change the theme of Office 2013

Dear Microsoft

Please, please, please change outlook to same look and feel as 2010 as this 2013 and 365 is just terrible. I too am looking to try a new mail system. Loved the old outlook and have bought a new surface pro 3 and 365, this new Outlook is just plain horrid (word is noy much better). whats with the washed out look and unclear buttons, cant find a thing and its terrible on the eyes. now having trouble trying to install 2010 on my surface as it wants 365!

What happened to the BLUE color option theme? Grey and White are too bright for reading documents all day long. Please update office 2013 to provide some PRIMARY pastel colors like purple, orange, blue, green, and red or maroon. Thanks.

I agree with you, Lindy, that Micro$oft are arrogant and oblivious to customer satisfaction. And you are right that that attitude is engendered by a lack of competition. 

You could, however, go to Open Office. It's free, and while it doesn't have the elaborate enhancements that Micro$oft feels compelled to add to each new version, it does perform ALL the basic and not-so-basic functions that any normal user needs 99.9% of the time. And the interface is user friendly.

I just wish that, after DECADES of existence, Micro$oft Word didn't still have conniptions with complicated documents. Headers and footers especially are almost impossible to stabilize if you have many sections in the same doc and headers and footers that change with each section.

Put more than one graphic on a page in Word and beware.  Put 2 or 3 on a page and 2 or 3 on following pages and it's like trying to juggle 9 balls at once. These are the things they should concern themselves with rather than occupying their Office developers with destroying a reasonably adequate user interface.

Micro$oft could argue that, if you want to do complicated docs, you should do them in Publisher, but clerical staff are not layout artists. They generally are happy to know how to use Word, even if it is challenging to use when the boss says, "Hey, can you embed this spreadsheet in the report?" (That's a function that's been around for 20 years or more, but it's still just as quirky as the first time I tried it.)

And as I am having a good whinge, how on earth could anyone decide that functions that had always been reached by one click or keyboard shortcuts should now be several clicks away?! How can they think that's an improvement?!

Or are they just laughing their socks off and mumbling, "SUCKERS!"

MS Office is useless to me.  I can not see anything on this washed out screen.  This new computer is going back.

This is stupid and foolish of MS to put out such **** and expect people to tolerate you as a company.

This should be a crime.   I think that it is a crime You certainly are not helping the handicapped as required by law.  I am going to sue you.

Everybody should get together and destroy Microsoft.  They think that they can put out anything and people will use it because it is there.  Then they will make your older software obsolete by no longer supporting it and force you to buy the new ****. 

It is time to destroy Microsoft and get some competition in the computer business.  Their has been no competition since Microsoft destroyed Word Perfect and Lotus 123 with their lies and deception.
