This is fairly simple to do in Word using a protected form - see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm however there are a couple of
issues that you may wish to consider.
1. Most printers will not print to the edge of the page and thus you would
have a white border around the edge of the page.
2. Printing backgrounds is extremely wasteful of ink and thus expensive. You
would go through ink at an alarming rate.
If you have the six part paper, you would be better in the long run getting
an impact printer to print the form. It should even be possible to get
coloured paper presorted into the colours you want. More expensive than
plain white paper, but should pay for itself if you have a lot of such
documents to print. Speak to your paper specialist.
Adobe CS2 (Acrobat 7) pre-dates Word 2007 and is incompatible with it. You
need Acrobat 8 for full compatibility with Word 2007.

I have a form that I just created. It is based on a six part carbon
paper form. The carbon forms are each a different color and contain
the same information. I would like to be able to have six pages with
different colored backgrounds each. I would also like for the user
to be able to input the information on the first page and for it to
transfer to the other five pages automatically. How do I do this in
Word 2007? Is it possible to do in Word 2007? I recently completed
a form that was a three page PDF. I only entered my information on
the one page and it automatically filled the other two pages and each
page was a different color. I tried exporting the page I created
into Adobe Lifecycle Designer to see if I could do it there. (I have
Adobe CS2.) However, for some strange reason it kept telling it was
unable to find Word XP or later on my computer. I am at a total
loss. I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you all in advance.
