Default setting page background color and dimensions

Thanks for the help. I inserted a two-row by two-column as you suggested.
I set the headers and footers from edge to 0" on both. There are still some
margins...i.e. top: 0.17" bottom: 0.17" left: 0.25" right: 0/25".

If I try to zero the margins out, I get the following error: "One or more
margins are set outside the printable area of the page. Choose the Fix
button to increase the appropriate margins.

I clicked ignore and it did expand to take the full area of the page.

Is there a way to set a bleed and print the full area of the page?

Thanks again for your help.
Regards.

Insert a two-row by two-column table. Resize each column and row to your
percentage specifications. Fill each table cell with the desired
background color.

But your printer probably won't be able to print the background colors all
the way across the page, because most printers have some amount of
non-printable area along each edge.

I'm using Word 2007 and working with a standard 8.5 X 11 page layout
portrait orientation. I would like to break the page into 4
quadrants...i.e. top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right. In
the bottom quadrants, I would like to set the page background colors into
two separate colors that would fill all the way across the page. The
bottom left would have one color designation and the bottom right would
have a slightly different color designation. I also need to set widths
and heights for these quadrants so I can add text within each quadrant.

I would like the top quadrants to be 70% of the page height and the
bottom quadrants would be 30% of the page height. The left quadrants
need to be 30% of the page width and the right quadrants need to be 70%
of the page width.

How can I achieve this layout?

Thanks for any help.
Regards.
