Black theme completely missing.

Question

The Black theme is completely missing on my copy of Office 2019.

It's just not there. The other day, I switched to it on Word and now I'm forced to use the Dark Gray theme, which honestly isn't much of an improvement on the White or Colorful ones and just makes me want to claw out my eyes, the Dark Gray one even more so than the Colorful one. I found out about this by accidentally switching from the Black theme once I saw the drop-down selection in the Options was set to a theme without a name (Literally, the drop-down was blank and when i clicked it the theme wasn't listed there.) while looking for something else. Pretty much everything I've searched to try to fix the issue hasn't worked. Anyone have any idea how I could try to restore it?

Answer 1

It isn't unusual for an online repair to involve an uninstallation followed by a reinstallation of Office.

Are you saying that there is no difference once Office is up and running again? The "Black" Office Theme is still missing/not working? See if the option is available at File > Account.

I'm finishing a similar issue. I had to reinstall my windows due to some malware issues. Once I installed my Microsoft Office, I cannot access "Dark"/Black theme alone. That option is simply missing. I had been using that theme for a very long time. I tried repairing my office and uninstalled and reinstalled it as well. But none of these worked. I'm at loss as to what I'm supposed to do.

Which specific Word version are you running? For Windows versions, click File > Account to find out.

Answer 4

Didn't work. Edit: Attempted online repair, Office uninstalled itself. Great.
