formatting backgrounds

[SjBom]

I am attempting to apply a colorfill-in for my document and when I print
preview, the background doesn't show. Nor does it print when I command
printing of the document.

The Backgrounds really aren't intended to be printed, they're primarily
meant for onscreen viewing & web pages. In order to have it print go into
the Print options for your version of Word & tick the box for Print
Background Colors & Images... But don't be surprised if it doesn't print as
you expect. The type of fill may not be of sufficient resolution for
printing effectively & may not fill the entire page based on limitations of
the printer.
