If you are using the Office 2013 Consumer Preview version, then it is sure that, you will be aware that this time Microsoft has removed the Aero Glass feature from Office 2013, so that it can be fully match with the new Windows 8 Aero Less User Interference.

The Problem which has to be fixed:

By removing the Aero feature from Office 2013, Microsoft has added a new feature by which you can change the background image of Office 2013 with 6 pre-available images. But by the default, there is no background image set in Office 2013. You can do by opening any Office 2013 program, and after that click on “File” Menu and after that on the “Options” tab from the left sidebar.

But you will notice that this doesn’t works, the background is back reset to white colour. That’s the problem we have to fix. Let’s do that…

The Solution of the problem:

The solution for this is very easy, just you have to sign in using your personal or any Windows Live ID and after that only, you will be easily able to change the background.
To sign in, click on “Sign in” link given below the title bar buttons or click on File menu and then click on Account option present in left sidebar. Enter your Windows Live credentials and once you complete the sign in process, you’ll be able to change background image.
Please be aware that, signing out from Office 2013 will again reset background image to none.
