How to change Office 2013 background themes [Beginners]

Besides many new features, Office 2013 brings the concepts of “Office Background”, which essentially are small images, seven in total –If counting the “none” option that only leaves you with a white toolbar –, that adds a little touch of personalization to the software suite experience.

Instructions

Microsoft Office 2013, unlike the 2010 version, doesn’t have the option to change the actual color scheme (blue, silver and black); instead, the new interface is a solid white background, all around, with a small pattern image that only covers a fraction of the app toolbar in the top-right corner of the screen.
