document background color

[ward]

Hi,

Word setup is as such that you type black text on a
white 'paper'. Is it possible to change the 'paper' color
of an individual document window to any other color?
I didn't find any ActiveWindow property to set the color.

This might be usefull for me, because i'm working on
several similar documents at the same time (copying and
pasting, etc.) . If i could make one document window e.g.
red, then i can easily see i'm pasting in the correct
(i.e. red) window.

BTW: the .background property is not usefull, since it is
only displayed in web view. I'm working in normal view en
print layout.

I was dealing with the same problem. The only thing I have been able to find that is close to what I need was to open format and select Borders and Shading. I changed the shading to the color of choice and voila! Hope this works for you.
