Try saving the doc as a webpage. My guess is you will see the colour just
fine. I believe the background colour is not meant for Word docs. If you
want a colour background try adding a large rectangle and bring it to theback
(see drawing order). Lots of toner is used so maybe try using coloured
paper.

When I create a background design in Word I send it to myself as a Mail
Recipient to make a creative Stationary, but when I pull my email up to
myself to Save Stationary it is just one color and not what I originally
created?
