Hi Vicki,
Is this the template with the light blue and gold background color blocks?
On the first/cover sheet the graphics are in the usual working (document area). On the following pages they're in the header for the
document.
If you're using a pre Word-2007 version, go to the 2nd page, and use the View Header and Footer Tool. Select the background, right
click and choose
Grouping=>Ungroup
Answer yes if you get a prompt about converting the background. You should then be able to select the individual rectangle shapes
and fill them with a different color, gradient or picture fill. Alternatively when you first go to 'header/footer' view you can
select the background and delete it then Insert your own.
On the Cover page there is a text box that surrounds the page and a text box that holds the 'Recipes' title (in White text) and an
empty text box at the top of the page. The rest of the page consists of two 'pictures' One with the pot on the stove and one with
the background. You can delete either of these and insert your own background by inserting a shape and then adding a fill, or
inserting a picture. you like.
=====================
I'm looking at the recipe cookbook template in particular and cannot figure
out any way to change the "background colors" and get rid of the striping. I
use the term "background" loosely because it doesn't appear to technically be
a background as using those word tools doesn't do a thing. Frustrated!
Trying to put together a family cookbook for my daughter for Christmas.
