Setting Background of a Word Document

[ukgimp]

Trying to set the background of a word document. It looks fine on screen and then when I print preview or print it only show the text.

Any suggestions at all.

Cheers

That little paper clip guy told me this...

"Backgrounds are displayed in Web layout view only and aren't designed for printing. Watermarks are intended for printed documents."

So go to Format ¦ Background ¦ Printed Watermark...

Clippy gets in my nerves :)

Especially when he taps on the screen! He's so condescending sometimes.

I like it when he tells you not to run with scissors :)

Clippit is his real name. He is only Clippy to his friends ;)

Then Clippit gets on my nerves:

"I can tell you are writing a letter, would you like me to help to balls it up"

A couple of years ago, a friend sent me a JPEG of him saying "I see you are writing a suicide note. Would you like me to help?". Below was a menu of ways you might be trying to top yourself: overdose, hanging, gas, etc.

Sort of summed up the level of sensitivity at MicroSoft (no, I don't think it was a hint to me ;)).

I see you are writing a suicide note

He he he. Just found that one by searching on G.
