Changing background color
How do you change the background color (not the writing surface background),
but the grey background that the document rests upon? (Word 2003) Thanks for all help

Changing background color
You have never been able to do this in Word, and, as of Word 2007, you still
can't. As the trend is towards less customisation generally, I am not hopeful. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Granpoh" wrote in message ...

Changing background color
You actually can do this is Word 2003 and earlier, but it requires changing
the "Application Background" color in your Windows color scheme, and it will affect all Windows applications. -- Suzanne S.

Changing background color
Thanks,
But that doesn't work. You can see the application color you've selected as you're opening or closing the program, but once it's opened, the background is back to plain ol' gray. "Suzanne S.
