Default Background colour

Hi,



How do you change the background colour for only one or two pages in a Word
2003 document, I can change the background colour for the whole document but
haven't been able to just select pages.



Any help would be appreciated.

Default Background colour

Essentially the background tool is provided for html documents, which don't
support pages.
You could put a full page text box, with its layout option set to behind
text, and filled with the colour of your choice, in the headers for the
required sections.
Note that most printers will not print to the edge of the page, and for
printing on coloured backgrounds it probably makes more sense to print on
coloured paper.
