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 Black theme appears to be working as expected here (Word 2021). I haven't tested 365 after the most recent update.

    Sometimes, you have to select and clear the "Disable dark mode" a couple of times and restart Word in between.

    Does not work for me. Button is still missing and not showing up regardless of how often i tick "Disable dark mode", quit word, restart it and remove the "disable dark mode" tick and restart. No Switch Mode Button on my Laptop. Works fine on my desktop....

    If you select the "Disable dark mode" option, you won't see the Switch Modes button.

    Clear the option, and the button returns to the View tab:

    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.

    Does that only work in and is this 'sun/moon' button only in the most recent build releases of 365? I rolled mine back to Version 2101 because I could not work well with the "Modern Comments" feature--but I have this same same "Disable Dark Mode" checkbox, it just doesn't seem to DO anything, and I cannot find any "sun/moon" button to switch the page to black like I want to.
