Page background on Word
 
Hello everyone!
 
This is probably a stupid question, but I have no idea of how to do it.
 
I have noticed that many worksheets have beautiful backgrounds, which aren�t just images, since they can�t be selected. They look as though they are some kind of background. How do you do it?
 
Thanks in adavnce

Hi Silvia!
The background is a function you select if you have Office 2007. It�s somewhere on the upper task bar. I don�t have Office 2007 at home (where I am now)... sorry I can�t help more!

You can also use:

Insert / Image / From File

and expand it to fit the whole page.

For those who don�t want the background image (Need to save money on ink!):

Tools / Options / Print
Unselect the checkbox that says "Colours and background images".

While you�re there you could also unselect "Images" �Voila no images will be printed. �Please be aware though that textboxes will also not be printed.
