MS Word 2007 has some cool features that make word processing a lot more fun. For instance, if you want to dress up a document with a little background color, it is very easy to do now. I’m not saying that I think colored backgrounds should be used all the time as it doesn’t present a very professional image, but there are times when it can be quite appropriate, such as Christmas newsletters, sale ads, etc.
Follow the steps below to add a color background to your 2007 Word documents:
- Launch MS Word 2007 if it is not already open.
- Open the document in which you would like a color background.
- On the Ribbon, click the Page Layout tab.
- In the Page Background group, click the drop-down arrow next to Page Color and select the color you would like for your background.
- One of the nicest features of MS Word 2007 is that you can hover your mouse over each color to see a preview of how your document will look with that background.
- Select the background color you like.
That’s it! You are finished!
