FYI, just for info, maybe it might help to orientate and maybe follow the same
way, because it's not bad and has proved its worth:


Microsoft Support document: Dark Mode in Word – Word for Microsoft 365, Word
for Microsoft 365 for Mac, Word 2021
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dark-mode-in-word-e17b79a3-762f-4280-a81c-a15a859a693a#ID0EDD=MacOS

Incl. what and how to change the settings to change/adjust the defaults.
Sidenote (see screenshots and text in the document): for example, among other
things: the default page background in dark mode is: a _dark_ page background,
not a white one per default.

<blockquote>
Dark Mode in Word offers a dark color scheme for both the menu controls and the
document background. Dark Mode can help to reduce eye strain and also provides
a more modern feel to Word. The dark page background does not convey how your
document will print, or the default view your collaborators will see when they
open it.

Turn on Dark Mode

To turn on Dark Mode in the Word, you need to enable Dark Mode for Mac OS.

1. Go to Settings > General

2. In the Appearance options, select Dark

Alternatively, you can select Auto, which will switch between Light and Dark
modes based on your specified Night Shift schedule in MacOS.

…

Set the page background color

Once Dark Mode has been turned on, you can toggle between the dark and light
page background colors.

   1. In the ribbon, go to the View tab.

   2. Select Switch Modes to change the page background color. Word will
remember the state of this toggle for future Dark Mode sessions.

Disable the dark page background

You can disable the dark page background in Dark Mode and keep the page light.

    Go to Word > Preferences > General > Personalize.

    Select Dark Mode has a white page color.

Check the appearance

Regardless of your Dark Mode settings, your document will print with the light
mode page color. Also, your Dark Mode settings do not impact your
collaborators, and Word will respect individual view preferences. To preview
your document for printing and sharing, use the Switch Modes button to change
the page background to light.
