Format/Backgorund/Color nor Fill Effects
Ah, the crucial difference a single character can make...
The ability to print background colors and images this way was first introduced in Word 2003, which is why you don't see the option in Word 2002. You can get pretty much the same effect in 2002. At the moment I don't have Word 2002 installed, but these instructions for Word 2000 should be the same or nearly so: - Insert a text box. If the document is more than one page and you want the same color or image on all the pages, then the cursor should be in the header area when you use Insert Text Box; otherwise, leave the cursor in the main text while you do it. The size you start with doesn't matter; you'll fix that later. - Right-click the edge of the text box and select Format Text Box. - On the Colors & Lines tab, select the fill color or effect. Set the line (border) to "No line". - On the Size tab, set the height and width to the same size as the page. - On the Layout tab, click the Advanced button. In the next dialog, on the Position tab, set the alignments to Left relative to Page and Top relative to Page. On the Text Wrapping tab, click "Behind text". Click OK in each dialog. When you print, Word may complain that parts are outside the printable area. If you choose to ignore that warning, the document will probably print with at least a 0.25" border of white around the page -- that's a limitation of the printer, and not Word's fault. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Format/Backgorund/Color nor Fill Effects
Well, if this one feature is crucial and the workaround isn't
acceptable, then you'll need Word 2003 -- it's the latest available version. If you can make do with the workaround for a while, there will be another release of Office coming along, probably in the third quarter of 2006 (it's still too early to predict the timing any closer than that). It's going to look quite different from all preceding versions -- see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/Office12/index.html for links to articles about what's coming -- but it will include the background printing feature. The least expensive purchase option for Word 2003, if you have a student or teacher anywhere in the family, is the Student & Teacher edition (see http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...s/default.mspx). You can find this online or in most software or office supply stores. (If someone mentions that Works Suite 2006 contains Word, that's true but it's Word 2002.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
