setting a background color for a single Word doc page?
Is it possible to set the background color for a single page or specific
pages of a word doc? All I can find is how to set the background color for the entire document. I need to highlight certain pages of a report as "future material included for reference only" and other ways of doing this don't seem to be very visually distinguishing. ? |

The backgrounds colour function is aimed at HTML documents, which don't
support pages. You could instead set a full page filled text box with its wrap option set to 'behind the text'. To select such a text box later use the white arrow selector on the drawing toolbar. Most printers are incapable of printing to the edge of the page - whether it be for a background or text box. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Kevin29 wrote: Is it possible to set the background color for a single page or specific pages of a word doc?

Does this have anything to do with the thread you have posted into?
Can you explain the problem and include the Word version? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org S Chatterjee wrote: In this case page headers & footers are vanishing.
