Hi,

In Word 2007 for Windows there is the option �page color, which lets you change the color of the entire page. When you save it as a PDF file it will have the same color.
I have two questions:

- When I open a Word (for windows) file with a colored page in Word for Mac it displays it correctly, but when I save it as a PDF file it just white. Is there anyway to save it with the original color?

-I can�t find the option �page color�in Word for Mac. Does this exist?

Thanks!

Mac Word does not have that specific feature. You can use Format> Background
to select the color of your choice but make sure you have "Background colors
& images" checked in the Print Preferences before generating the PDF. Note
that the color may not apply edge-to-edge in the PDF.

I've never tried it with a 2007 file so I'm not sure how the Page Color
applied in the Windows version will translate to paper.
