I am trying to setup a background color to print with my document(
I am trying to setup a background color to print with my document(s) I am
selecting in MS Word - Format , Background , Fill effects , one color(any Color), from center, . When I do a print preview the background shows up exactly like I want it to, but when I actually print the document, the back ground fill effect come out Tiled. prints tiled 6 x 11 images instead of 1 image on the whole page. How do I force word to Print the page as it is previewed and not have the fill effects Tiled. I am trying to do this without creating a text box. I have tried printing to an XPS and a PDF as well a multiple amount of printers. I have made sure that all of the printer drivers are up to date, I have made sure the print background option is checked. I also have looked at every possible stteing in word with no luck. Should be relativly easy but everything I tried does not seem to work. Urgh!!!! Thanks in Advance. -- Richard Young MCP * 4 -2000 CNA 5.0 A+ Net + HP IBM |

I would attack this from another direction, instead of using the Background
option, have you tried attaching a Drawing Rectangle attached to the Header, have the Rectangle the size of the page, filled to the appropriate colour/pattern/picture, with or without lines, translucency setting adjusted, etc. For further details see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm Remember, an image in or anchored to the header are always dimmed when you are working in the document body and vice versa. Hope this helps DeanH "Richard Young" wrote: I am trying to setup a background color to print with my document(s) I am selecting in MS Word - Format , Background , Fill effects , one color(any Color), from center, .
