I'm not reimbursed by TechRepublic for my time or expertise when helping readers, nor do I ask for a fee from readers I help.Windows 10 has made life of those with light sensitivity and computer eye strain issues more difficult. Please mention the app and version that you're using. For example, "Please troubleshoot my workbook and fix what's wrong" probably won't get a response, but "Can you tell me why this formula isn't returning the expected results?" might. When contacting me, be as specific as possible. You can send screenshots of your data to help clarify your question. Don't send files unless requested initial requests for help that arrive with attached files will be deleted unread. I answer readers' questions when I can, but there's no guarantee.

Both are easy to accomplish, technically speaking, and in this article, I'll show you how to do both. For instance, you might want to change the background's color or even use a picture as the document's background. However, when a document requires more, Word offers many visual possibilities. That's the way it should be though because most documents don't require special graphics and colors. Most documents are rather boring-the same black text on a white background. This article was first published in December 2011 and was updated in March 2019. In the following tutorial, Susan Harkins explains the process when using Word 2010. Editor's note: In the video, Brandon Vigliarolo uses Microsoft Office 365 and walks through the steps of adding colors or images to the background of your Word documents.
