Changing a word template background colour

Hi,

in Word, on the Format menu, select Background, then choose "no fill" or a different background colour.

we are using office word 2007 here btw

That's what it should say in your user profile instead of "office", then.

In Word 2007 click the "Page Layout" ribbon, and there find the Page Color button in the Page Background panel. It's about centre of the ribbon. Click the Page Color button and select "No Color" or any color you like.

If you want to upload a Word file, you can zip it first and then upload the zip file.

Read my last post. You need to make it into a ZIP file and upload that. ZIP files can be up to 9.77 MB big. Word files are always too big for this forum

OK, first of all, it's not the document that has a background color, but there are tables in the document and some cells have background colors. That's a completely different story.

Although you may work with the document in Word 2007, the template that it was based on was created in Word 2003. The developer of the template used a feature called Forms, designed a form and protected it against changes. The only thing the developer allowed is the data entry in the table cells that you can click

I'm afraid that if you need to change the table, you will have to access the template.

You can find out about the template name by clicking

Office button - Prepare - Properties - then Document Properties - Summary Tab

Look at the bottom of the dialog, where the template name is listed. You will probably have this template on your computer (or network), so you should be able to access it and make changes there.

I know this may not be the solution you expected, but it's the best I can do.

cheers

Ok thanks for trying nice one, it is protected but can be unlocked its not pass worded ?

Again, you need to access the template, an probably with Word 2003, since the Form functionality is no longer a feature in Word 2007.
