I NEED HELP
 

Hello everyone:

 
I need some help.  While I was preparing worksheet 
I ran into a bit of a problem.  Originally, I had wanted to include
a black and white version of this printabale on the same  sheet. 
When I tried to do this I kept getting a coloured background and a frame. 
I tried to erase the coloured background but it erased the backgound on all the pages. 
I would like to know if on a worksheet there is a way of having a
few pages with frames and colours and a few pages in the same
worksheet which are black and white.  Today, I am uploading the
same worksheet in black and white for people who do not have
 coloured printers because I was unable to include this in my
worksheet yesterday.  Is there a solution to this?
I need your help in order to avoid sending double worksheets.

If you find  a solution I will be very happy to know it! I hate when in word you want a border but it has to then be for all pages! I would love it if word had more publisher like features!

Well, here�s a couple of ideas!!!

If you are using Word 2003 please read the following site:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA012191711033.aspx

Go straight to the section on �Word� & it will explain the difference between �watermarks� & �background� & how to use them both.

Essentially �backgrounds� were originally for web pages & �watermarks� for print. It may be worthwhile using �watermarks� utilising the �header & footer� approach noted in the article - it�s the only way I know of to change the background image or colour from one page to the next in a Word document (unless you are inserting a picture to use as a background, then the process is a little different).

If you are using a different version of Word please let me know & I�ll try to find some relevant info.

For borders you can make changes using the drop down menu in the border formatting:



Just have a play with the options & you�ll soon find out which one suits your requirements.

Feel free to message me if I can help further.

Cheers, ab
