Question

i cant print the background color on microsoft word!?

Answer 1

In Word XP (2002), "Backgrounds" are used for web pages, and won't print. "Watermarks" are used for printed documents. A watermark, however, can be a graphics file, that is, essentially a background. If you have your document in Web Layout view, you can't get to Watermarks. Switch to Print Layout to get to Watermarks (backgrounds still won't print, though). To get to watermarks click on the Format->Background->Printed Watermarks menu item. Also, be sure to set Drawing Objects to print this way: 1. Click the Tools->Options menu item. 2. Click the Print Tab. 3. Under Include with Document, check the checkbox for Drawing Objects. 4. Click OK. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

You pretty much just answered your own question :-P



I would put the text in MS Paint, save it as a photo and open it up in MS Word.

Then it will print with the background color.

Answer 5

In Word 2003 and Word 2007, this is fairly straight forward, but in Word 2002 (XP) this is a bit of a nomenclature problem. There, "backgrounds" are used for web pages, and won't print. "Watermarks" are used for printed documents, however, a watermark can be a graphics file, that is, essentially a background.



Here's what to do for Word 2002:



If you have your document in Web Layout view, you can't get to Watermarks. Switch to Print Layout to get to Watermarks (backgrounds still won't print, though).



First, set up a graphic file with the background you want. This might be an image or a color.



Then, to get to watermarks, while in Print Layout View,



1. Click on the Format->Background->Printed Watermarks menu item.

2. Click the Picture Watermark radio button.

3. Click the Select Picture button.

4. Navigate to and select the graphics file you created above.

5. Click the Insert button.

6. You might want to select Washout (or Semi-Transparent) so the background doesn’t fight with the foreground for attention.

7. Click OK.



Now set Drawing Objects to print this way:



1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.

2. Click the Print Tab.

3. Under Include with Document, check the checkbox for Drawing Objects.

4. Click OK.





In Word 2003:



1. Click Tools->Options menu item.

2. Click the Print tab.

3. Check the Background colors and images checkbox.

4. Click OK.





In Word 2007:



1. Click the round Office button in the upper-left corner of the window.

2. Click the Word Options button.

3. Click the Display section.

4. Check Print Drawings Created In Word.

5. Check Print Background Colors and Images.

6. Click OK.



Hope that helps.
