Instead of adding a background in Word, why not change your window color in
Windows? On the Appearance tab of the Control Panel | Display dialog, you
can choose a new window color, which will become the "paper" color in Word.
I use RGB 255/255/225, which is a restful ivory.

I have very light sensitive eyes and when viewing my word documents, or
any
other on screen documents, i HATE looking at a bright white screen (the
simulated paper or background). I typically have to change the background
to
a light blue or something easier on the eyes everytime i open a new
document.
Can I make my colored background/paper my default for all word documents?
