This Tuesday, Microsoft released the next Office, and in many ways it parallels the release of Windows 10.

Sharing is a new theme with Office 2016 but not the only one — colors return.

Chances are high that if you’re using Office 2013, it’s because you signed up for an Office 365 subscription. Having a perfectly good copy of Office 2010, and, like many others, not being a fan of the stark new UI, I relegated the 2013 version to one of my test systems.
For the daily work of getting the newsletter out, Office 2010 worked just fine; thank you very much.
But a large part of my job is looking at new Windows technology, and the easiest path to getting a peek at the new Office was via a subscription. Primarily, I wanted to see whether Microsoft made its productivity apps easier to view.
With a new Office subscription installed and running, I found the answer to be, not surprisingly, yes and no.
Office 2013 introduced the concept of UI themes in what seemed a half-hearted attempt to add some user customization. But it’s a feature I suspect most users simply ignored. Office 2016 has essentially the same set of background patterns, but adds a “Colorful” theme (see Figure 1), which on my new Office 365/2016 installation was set by default. (Office 2013 offered “Light Gray,” “Dark Gray,” and “White.”)
