page color

[RalphSE]

hi,

is there a way to change the color of a page in WORD? I dont mean
highlighting the text, I mean being able to make the whole page look
yellow or green, etc.. like a real life colored piece of paper?

thannks

It's probably not an exhaustive list but a few ideas come to mind:

For a page:

1) Make a text box that covers the page and then fill it with an appropriate
colour or

2) Produce your page then overlay the whole page with a graphic box, fill it
in the colour of your choice and then select Order>Set behind text.

For a whole document, you could do the same trick with the graphic box (2)
but do it whilst in View>Header and Footer.

Then again, you could stop being such a cheapskate and buy some coloured
paper ;-)

Hi,

If you are running 2003, you can go to format, background and choose
the color you want. Hope this helps.
