Thanks for this. Just found this from a search I did. Have watched other vids., none of which helped. Yours was the only one to do so, although I have to say, it's decidedly cumbersome, MSW's fault, not yours. I had previously used Quark Xpress as a page-lout program where I could easily change the background on a formatted page color. Guess I. can't do that with MSW. Tried. Couldn't. Had a peek at your other offerings. Just subbed. Thank you.

@erinwrightwriting Год назад

Thank you for watching and subbing! I understand your frustration; some tasks in Word can be cumbersome.

@wendelakilmer4817 Год назад

Thank you. But how can I change the color of the area OUTSIDE the document in print layout? To a soft blue for instance, to have a bit more contrast on the screen.

@erinwrightwriting Год назад

That is a great question! Unfortunately, I don't believe Word offers a way to change the interface to a specific color such as blue. I hope Microsoft provides that option in the future!

@CesareVesdani Год назад

It is possible to apply a page background color to the Outline and Normal views in Word 2021?

@erinwrightwriting Год назад

Great question! As far as I know, the background colors can only appear in the Print Layout (normal) view and the Web Layout view. Thank you for watching!

@CesareVesdani Год назад

@@erinwrightwriting Please make a new video showing what happens if you apply a background color fill or image to a page in all different views in Word 2021.

I was using my word app on my Macbook Air (version 16.67) and it doesn't have a "file" tab in the bar and there wasn't an options tab in the built in Mac file tab or anywhere else I could see. So I logged into Word online instead, but came to find (after a bunch of hassle sharing my document with myself since they don't sync for some reason) that my border and background colors were gone and there is no "design" tab on the web version to be found. So disappointed and frustrated...any suggestions, please?

How do I change the colour of the background surrounding/behind the page? Usually it's grey, but I had to reinstall the program and now that background is black, and I don't know how to change it.

@erinwrightwriting Месяц назад

Great question! I have a separate tutorial showing how to change the color of the interface: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T-vab5SIZ9s.html. Note that the Options tab shown in the tutorial may now be hidden behind another tab labeled "More."

@twoscoops6449 Год назад

What if there is no "design" tab?

Hi, good video, but I'm looking to change the background color of the window(behind the page). That grey is killing my eyes

I want to change to imagine, but when i did, the imagine is multipled, not full page

@erinwrightwriting 6 месяцев назад

Word will automatically duplicate the image if it is not big enough to cover the whole page. If you want a background image rather than color, I have a separate tutorial about full-page background images that you may find more helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGP2mFTwsQk.html.

It doesn't work for me. I can find and do that command but it never works, and the page always stays white.

@erinwrightwriting Год назад

Thank you for watching! I am sorry to hear that the process doesn't work for you. If you are using a current version of Word, please consider contacting Microsoft support to report the issue. I wish you all the best!
