I am trying to print text over a background I found on the Web. I have
checked the background box in the options under tools, but it did not work.
I am using Windows XP home edition. I also can not print from a Web page.
Any help would be appriciated.
 
The Background option in Word can only for creating HTML background: it can
be viewed on screen. To print it, you need to save the document as an HTML
document, opened in Internet Explorer and printed; then follow the
directions below.

To print a web page background, open Internet Explorer and select Tools,
Internet Options, Advanced tab and check the Print Background Colours and
Images option.

Actually, Word 2003 does allow you to print backgrounds; there is a setting
for this on the Print tab of Tools | Options. For all previous versions,
what Terry said will apply.

That's something new I learnt for today. I've not noticed that new (for
WD2003) check box till you pointed it out. Thanks Suzanne.

Needless to say, I haven't had occasion to use it, and I don't think I
noticed it on my own--learned that from the NGs like everything else!
