How to Color the Background in Microsoft Word
Just like the bright white of a piece of paper pulled from a fresh ream, the white on a Microsoft Word default page can be blinding. But unlike with real paper, Word users may change the background color of the page with a few clicks. Select a background that goes with the theme of the Word document or just provides a different option over the black text on white page default setup.
