"Background printing" has nothing to do with printing the background; it
refers to printing "in the background," that is, while you continue to work
in Word.

Thank you Suzanne. I am using Word 2003 and found the selection on the
tools/option/print selection. I had background printing checked, but did
not
have the other selection for printing background checked.

Format | Background was originally intended only for Web pages, and when
you
insert a background, you'll note that Word switches to Web Layout view.
Unless you have Word 2003 (which has a setting on the Print tab of Tools

Options to allow you to print background images), the only way to
achieve
this is to save the document as a Web page, view it in a browser, and
print
from the browser after changing the browser settings to print
backgrounds.

When I use a preset fill under format/background/fill effects, it
shows up
on
the document but is gone when I do a print preview or print.
