Starting with the cursor somewhere in the text on that page -- not in a header or footer -- use the tools on the Drawing toolbar (or the Insert Shapes button in Word 2007) to draw a rectangle as large as the page. Set its outline to No Line, set its fill color to the desired color, and set its text wrapping to Behind Text. Unless you have a photo printer that can print all the way to the edge of the sheet, there will be an unprintable area around the outside, probably at least 0.12 inch wide. This would also be true if you set a printed background for all pages. -- 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. |

Jay,
I followed the steps you explained and it worked great except for one thing. It is changing the color for all of my pages instead of the page I drew the rectangle on. Any suggestions?

You must have done this with the insertion point in the page header instead
of the document body. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Carrie" wrote in message ...
