Have you ever poured your heart and soul into absolutely awesome background in your word doc? Maybe you coloured it bright yellow, or purple, or ‘mother of pearl’?
It looks great on the screen, but when you print it… you can’t see it!
Did you know by default Microsoft Word 2007 that background colors and images are not printed?
It is easy to print them out though. Here is how:
- Open the file menu (the circle in the top left hand corner of the screen
- Click on "Word Options"
- Click on "Display" in the left hand menu
- Look in the "Printing options" section"
- Tick the "Print background colors and images" check box
- Click ok
How easy! Just a word of warning though… printing a bright yellow background on every page will not only cost you an arm and a leg in ink and toner, but will also require you and your colleagues to invest in sunglasses.
’till next time!
