how do i make the backround of a footer a different colour to the rest of the
document?

[Stefan Blom]

Select the footer paragraph(s) and then add some shading: On the
Format menu, click Borders and Shading. Click the Shading tab. Choose
the desired color. Make sure that "Apply to" is set to "Paragraph."
Click OK.

Note that, rather than adding this as direct formatting, you can add
the shading to the Footer paragraph style.

Or, to shade the entire footer region, put a filled rectangle behind the
text of the footer.

Thank you, got that to work now how do i get it to print to the very edge of
the document and not clip the edge of the colour? I have adjusted the margins
of the page to no avail!! I want a solid block of colour at the bottom of the
page with text on it, it clips the edges off if i use footers or text box?!?!?

Printing to the edge of the paper can only be done if your printer
supports it. Perhaps you can trick the printer driver by setting a
larger paper size than you are actually using.

Seems like a better idea.
