Hi Brooke,
Background repagination is an option created when older
computers were slower and had less memory. It's
in Tools=>Options=>General. It applies to working in
'Normal' (draft) editing view or in Outline view.
It keeps Word from constantly revising Pagination of your
text as you type in those views to keep things from slowing
down on longer documents.
If you work in Print Layout, Webpage or Reading Layout view
Word is always showing you the current result of your document
and you can't turn off that feature while in those views.
Word repaginates before printing no matter what view you're
in and wouldn't adjust the color normally as part of the
print process.
In the print tab you'll find a 'background printing' choice
which basically lets you continue to type in Word while you're
printing (it spools the document to print to the harddrive
then prints from there). While it would be unusual to have
this affect the printing, some printer drivers seem to do
odd things when you spool print.

What is background repagnation? It is under Tools, Options, Print...It is, I
believe, causing my paper to print out with a blue background. However, it is
shaded gray so I can not disable it...How do I disable it? >>
