Dec 22, 2012  In 2008, there was a file in the Contents-Resources folder called 'Page Layout View Background Rest' that you could replace with any image and the background would change (by 'background', I mean the actual grey color on each side of the word document, not the background of the document itself). Jan 24, 2020  In Microsoft Word, you can apply a background color to an entire table or to specific portions of a table.This is helpful when you want to highlight a part of a table. For example, if you’re working with sales figures, apply a different color to a column, row, or cell that contains totals.

Step # 1 – Applying a color to the background

In order to apply a color to the background of your page in a document, all you need to do is go to ‘Page Layout’ tab in the top menu and click on the option titled ‘Page Color’. As you move your cursor through the various colors given in the list under this drop down arrow, you will be able to see a preview of what the page will look like once you have applied the color to its background. In this case, we have chosen to apply a Tan background to our document.


Step # 2 – Standardizing and customizing colors

In order to customize colors for your background you can click on the ‘More colors’ option in the page color drop down. Once this is done, a new window open will open on your screen titled ‘Colors’. In the ‘standard’ option you can choose any color that matches your specifications. One can even choose colors from the grey scale option given at the lower end of this dialogue box. In the custom tab there are more colors to choose from and one can even go into specifying minute details such as RGB and HSL values.


Step # 3 – Using the ‘Gradient’ tab

Different effects can be added to the background using the ‘fill Effects’ option in the page color dropdown menu. The first tab you will be able to see in the dialogue box that will appear on your screen will be the ‘gradient’.

Here you will be able to see a variety of option. In order to apply the gradient effect using two different colors in the background, you must select the ‘two colors’ option given here. There are also a variety of shading styles available; out of which, in this case we have chosen the ‘Diagonal up’ style.
