Changing office theme

Hi.

I have Office Pro Plus 2019 and have a simple question.

I was wondering whether i could change the theme to dark in Office 2019 Outlook and still have the light theme in Word.

It seems when i change to dark mode in Outlook it also changes to dark mode in Word and vice versa.

Basically i want Word light mode and Outlook dark mode.

This is not about the standalone Outlook that is free with Windows. It's the built in Outlook within Office Pro Plus 2019.

Hopefully there is a solution.

Thanks

    As far as I know, Office Theme settings apply equally to all the apps. You can't change the Theme for just one app.
