Hi! 

I've switch word to dark mode but it didn't change the paper and I don't see any "change option" in view tab.

I'm using word 365 provided by our university. Version 2103 build 13901.20516

I've tried to update everything and I rebooted my PC ras well. 

(word is in czech language)

    The "Disable dark mode" button is not working properly. Sometimes, you have to toggle the option several times, and exit Word in between, and then you can get the desired option to stick. That is what I had to do for the screen shot in my previous reply.

    Should it have worked all the way back in Version 2101, though, or just more current versions? I do have the Disable tickbox in Version 2101, but even toggling it and restarting Word a few times has not given me this sun/moon button. And now it seems stuck on the rolled back 2101, because even after telling 365 it could install updates again, it's telling me it's current. LOL

    "Disable dark mode" replaces the Sun/Moon button. Selecting the option shows the white paper color.

    Yeah; just totally not showing up for me. Oh well. I guess when I rolled back I got it stuck in the 'phased rollout' stage. Trouble is now I can't even seem to get it to autoupdate again. Just keeps telling me I've got the most current version approved by my admin (me) LOL
