Hello,
Does anyone know how to change the color of the word selection in Word? If this option exists, does it apply to all versions of Word (2003, 2007, 10, 13)?
Currently, I am on one of my computers that still has Word 2003, and the word selection is in black. How can I change it to blue, for example?
Thanks in advance for your replies ;-)

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 46.0.2490.80

    Hello

    It's Windows that manages this. A tutorial right here on CCM for Windows 7

    In the `color and appearance of windows` section, `Element`, choose from the list of `Selected elements` to customize the selection color in apps

      Good evening, thank you for your response, but while this works for selecting, for example, a www type address, it doesn't work in Word where the selection remains gray.
      Thank you anyway.
      If anyone has another solution... thanks in advance.

        If it works, that's the only place where this option is configured. Unless Office 2003 works on Windows 7, which I doubt, I don't have it anymore.
        Someone in this setup can test.

      No, no. I tried with seven pro and office 2013, the selection of one or more words remains gray. The same happens if I do the same thing with Chrome, for example. However, if I select a URL or the name of a folder, it becomes yellow (color chosen for testing).
      So unfortunately, this is not resolved.
