Default Page Backgrounds

Hey all,

I'm currently trying to make multiple page backgrounds in Word (for e.g. a
solid background picture on one and an image background on another). Is this
possible? If so, how do you do it? I've tried going to Format, Background,
Fill Effects but this seems to make the whole document change. I want
individual pages.

Thanks,

Chris

Default Page Backgrounds

By using the "Different first page" option under FilePage SetupLayout, you
can get one image on the first page and a different one on the balance of
the pages of a single Section document,

By using the Different Odd and Even option there, you can get different
images on odd and even pages.

Otherwise, you will need to insert Section Breaks to get different images in
different parts of the document.

In all cases the image needs to be anchored in the appropriate header of the
Section.

Hope this helps.
