why do fill effects not appear in print preview

[bigfun]

Word 2007: for Page Background settings under the Page Layout tab, they are
not appearing in Print Preview (and obviously don't print). What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks,
bigfun

By default Page Backgrounds don't print. To print page backgrounds, in Print
Preview, click the Options button and then select "Print background colors
and images" near the bottom.
