background change

hi

is it possible to change the backround colour of a word document? perhaps as
a watermark or use an image to tile it?

I have tried - but what happens is that word turns my doc into a web page -
is there a way to avoid it doing this?

Thanks for any help

ps i am using word 2000
pps i will be converting the doc to a pdf later so this is a concern also

You have to create the background as a "watermark"; see “HOW TO: Create a
Watermark in Word 97 and in Microsoft Word 2000” at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211324. Note, however, that even if you
make it cover the entire page, your printer will probably not be able to
print to the edge.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for this- it works very well, I have one other query, I don't know if
you can help with.

In the above linked doc it says that to have the watermark on each page -
put it into a header/footer area. I would like my watermark to be down the
(left) side of each page, is there anyway to do this.

your help and time is appreciated

A graphic anchored to the header and formatted with Behind Text wrapping can
be anywhere on the page.
