Hello
I haven't got a dark theme in my Microsoft Office 2013.

There are only dark grey, grey and white themes options to select, no black.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | Other | Windows

    Older versions of Word/Office have a smaller selection of themes. The Black theme requires that you have a subscription, according to the article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-the-look-and-feel-of-office-63e65e1c-08d4-4dea-820e-335f54672310.

    "...it was mostly around the integration with the cloud."

    I think the same.

    Interesting. I don't even use that setting so not sure when Black became available, but it is there in Office 365.

    Is it possible your Office 2016 was really Office 365? There are some features in 365 that the perpetual licenses don't ever get, but I though it was mostly around the integration with the cloud.

    Maybe you're right, but...

    My previous computer had Office 2013 too. Black theme was there.

    I just have installed the 2016 version. Still no black theme.

    Correct. You will need a newer version, or Office 365.

    Office 2013 is 10 years old and doesn’t have all of the newer features and options.
