Hi people, with a word document, I want to make a document with only the
first page with background collar yellow. I want the rest to remain with
white background.

Do you now how to do that? (with tools- background - etc, you get the
whole document coloured)

Is it that you want to print color only on the first page?
Document backgrounds are designed to be viewed on the screen and not
printed. The background that you create by using the Background command on
the Format menu will not print. To add a printable background, borders, or
shading to your page, use the Printed Watermark command (by pointing to
Background on the Format menu) or the Borders and Shading command on the
Format menu.

Be sure to put a section break between the pages going from color to white.

One way, is to create a text box on your first page, fill the text box with
your desired color, then add your text. When you're ready for the second
page, go to the Menu bar, select Insert, select Break, select Next Page.

Create a large (page-sized) yellow AutoShape (rectangle) anchored to the
first paragraph on page 1, formatted as Behind Text.
