Document Background Not Printed
I have created a document and am using a .GIF image for a background (Format
- Background - Fill Effects - picture) This works fine, except when I print or Print Preview, the background is not shown/printed. I have check the box for "Drawing Objects" in the Include With Document in the options dialog box. How can i print the document with the background and all. Thank you -MATT |

Hello Matt-
Backgrounds are mostly intended for Web Page/Screen display. If you want them to print, go to ToolsOptionsPrint (or click the Options button while in the Print dialog box) and put a check in the box for Background Colors and Images.

Thank you for your reply. In the ToolsOptionsPrint Dialog box, there is
not an Item called Background Colors and Images. There is one called Background Printing, and this item is checked, however, the background still will not print. -MATT "CyberTaz" wrote: Hello Matt- Backgrounds are mostly intended for Web Page/Screen display.

This option was introduced in Word 2003. In earlier versions, there are two
ways to create a printable background: 1. Save the document as a Web page, open it in your browser, set the Internet Options to print background images, and print from your browser. 2. Use a "watermark" instead of a "background." In Word 2002 (and 2003), you can use the Format | Background | Printed Watermark feature.

The printing option first became available in Word 2002, I think, or maybe
2003 (it's getting hard to keep these things straight). Since you don't have it, the only way you can print a background is to insert the picture in the usual manner (Insert Picture From File) and set its wrapping to Behind Text. If you do this while the cursor is in regular text, it will be only on that page; if the cursor is in the header, the picture will appear on every page. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org MATT wrote: Thank you for your reply.
