High-contrast mode is a Windows feature that chooses colors and fonts to maximize the clarity of text and images. When using one of the "dark" high-contrast themes, Policy Modeling rule documents in Microsoft Word become very hard to read.
You can modify the Word template file (*.dotm), however, so that the background colors used for rules are more readable when used with a Windows high-contrast theme. When you open a rule document, Word will use your chosen colors, but when another user opens the same document, they will see the default Policy Modeling colors.
To make this change:
Enable "Automatically update document styles" in Word This is a per-document setting in Word. It is enabled by default for new rule documents in OPM 10.4 Update 6 (or later) but may have to be changed for files created in a previous version. To change or check the setting for a rule document:
Word 2007/2010/2013:
Click the Office Button (or the File tab), select Word Options, then Add-Ins.
In the Manage drop-down, select Templates and then click Go.
On the Templates tab, select the option Automatically update document styles.
Word 2003:
In the Tools menu, select Templates and Add-Ins.
On the Templates tab, select the option Automatically update document styles.
