If you use Word's "background" feature, it can only apply one color to the entire document. For a single page, use a rectangle shape from the Drawing tools, anchored in a paragraph of regular text on the page. Size it to cover the whole page. Set the fill color of the rectangle to the shade you want, and set the rectangle's Text Wrapping to "behind text". For several (or many) consecutive pages, separate them from the other pages with section breaks. Open the header pane, turn off the Same As Previous setting for that section and the one that follows it, and, with the cursor in the section's header, insert a drawing rectangle that you fill and send behind text. In either case, unless you have a fairly uncommon printer that can print all the way to the edge of the paper, there will be a white border around the color -- this is a limitation of the printer, not of Word. For this reason, and because covering a whole page with ink is expensive, it's better to buy colored paper to print on. -- 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. |
