Need help changing background color in Word 2007.

[pat]

I'm trying to print a document with a light blue background. I am using Word
2007.

I can change the background color on screen, but when I print (and use print
preview), the background is still white. How do I print a color background?

Go to Office button > Word Options > Display and check the option for "Print
background colors and images".

Hi Pat,

Under Office Button=>Word Options=>Display=>Printing Options
(or using the Options button from Print Preview)
turn on the 'Print background colors and images' setting
