How to Change the Background Color in Word 2007
Microsoft Word 2007 is the latest edition to Microsoft's trademark word-processing program, which offers a new user interface. The result is a more user-friendly program, although it can take some time to acclimate to the new setup. As a result of the interface overhaul, simple tasks-such as changing the page background color--can be unfamiliar to new users. However, changing the background color is simpler than in previous versions, and Word 2007 even lets you easily preview your changes before making them.
