Shade/colour the whole page?
I would like to have the paper(A4) all coloured or at least to what the
printer will print up to. I currently do edit/select all/ then Format/ Borders and shading/shading and then select the colour. - It only coulours the area of text. Is there a way to do this? Mike |

Shade/colour the whole page?
Hi Mike,
Open your document's header or footer, then insert a rectangular autoshape and size, position & shade it accordingly. If you've got different odd & even margins and you only want to shade up to them, you'll also want to format the shape as 'behind text' and set its positioning relative to the margins.

Thats fantastic. I have expanded out the box to fill the whole page but in
preview it has some white space around the page which in normal view is not shown. I gather that is the printers limitations for the inkjet printer?

Hi Mike,
Few printers can print right to the edge of the paper. That's why you'll see an unshaded area. The size of this will vary from printer to printer.

Shade/colour the whole page?
In Microsoft Word 2003, there is an easy way to do the same task.
1. Clik Tools - Options 2. Click the Print tab and make a check mark on "Background Colors and Images" 3. Click Format - Background - choose desire colors. and as said by MACROPOD, edges will left unshaded. Hope this help, let us know!
