Hi Ted-

Unless something is wrong with my system, I beg to differ. In Word 2003
setting a Backround Color most definitely _does_ affect the appearance of
page color in Print Layout View.

I did, however, neglect to point out that in order to do so there must be a
check in the box for ToolsOptionsView - Background Colors & Images. Normal
& Outline view are not affected.

Regards |:)

Did you mean another setting?
