Word – How to set the background of Word to a different default color

microsoft wordmicrosoft-office-2010

Default blue background and white text in Microsoft Word.

I have just moved to Word 2010 (Student Version now released) and although it is possible to create individual documents with a blue background it is not possible to set the program with a blue background as a default.

I understand this was discontinued with Office 2007.
The only way I can open a document with a blue background is to create a Template with a blue background and use that for each document I wish to create.

I'm sure there must be a method of hacking the registry to accomplish this.
Can you assist?

Have been able to accomplish a blue background. Not through the registry, but by creating a Template using Normal.dot. Very easy.
