Multi-page form with different colored background per page
I have a form that I just created. It is based on a six part carbon paper
form. The carbon forms are each a different color and contain the same information. I would like to be able to have six pages with different colored backgrounds each. I would also like for the user to be able to input the information on the first page and for it to transfer to the other five pages automatically. How do I do this in Word 2007? Is it possible to do in Word 2007? I recently completed a form that was a three page PDF. I only entered my information on the one page and it automatically filled the other two pages and each page was a different color. I tried exporting the page I created into Adobe Lifecycle Designer to see if I could do it there. (I have Adobe CS2.) However, for some strange reason it kept telling it was unable to find Word XP or later on my computer. I am at a total loss. I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you all in advance. |

Multi-page form with different colored background per page
This is fairly simple to do in Word using a protected form - see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm however there are a couple of issues that you may wish to consider. 1. Most printers will not print to the edge of the page and thus you would have a white border around the edge of the page. 2. Printing backgrounds is extremely wasteful of ink and thus expensive. You would go through ink at an alarming rate. If you have the six part paper, you would be better in the long run getting an impact printer to print the form. It should even be possible to get coloured paper presorted into the colours you want. More expensive than plain white paper, but should pay for itself if you have a lot of such documents to print. Speak to your paper specialist. Adobe CS2 (Acrobat 7) pre-dates Word 2007 and is incompatible with it. You need Acrobat 8 for full compatibility with Word 2007. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org mrrherrera wrote: I have a form that I just created.
