How to fill document pages with color in Word. Word incorrectly prints page background

Color printing is most in demand in A4 and A3 formats. Most often documents are ordered educational materials, coursework or test papers for universities. Additional convenience - the ability to work with storage media (flash drives, disks, other portable devices), and with source scans. If it is necessary to improve their quality, our specialists will adapt the materials for best quality print.

Unlike many of the tasks available at the printing site, the requirements for source materials for color printing are less categorical. You can get to know them HERE. The only exceptions will be works for the production of posters and drawings: the minimum resolution of images must be 300 or more dpi (dots per inch), and fonts must be attached to the drawings.

For photographs and images, digital color printing is also suitable if the quality of the original file allows you to create a colorful, expressive print.

MATERIALS FOR COLOR IMAGES

The digital way of production involves the use of the most different types paper - from standard coated smooth paper to various types of design paper. Density is best selected on the recommendation of a specialist, especially when required color print A4 for serious documents, teaching materials, educational works.

A LITTLE ABOUT PRINTING

Today we'll talk about how we make pages word document different color. We will talk not only about filling the page with some one color we have chosen, but also about the gradient, and about other types of filling. We will work in Word 2010.

To color or fill the page with color in the Word text editor, there is a special option. This option is called "Page Color" and is located in the "Page Background" section of the "Page Layout" top menu tab:

With this option, we can make the pages of the document colored. It should be borne in mind that all pages of the document will be filled with the same color we have chosen. To put it even more simply - all pages (sheets) of the document will be of the same color. You cannot fill document pages with different colors using this option. Neither the alternate selection of each page, nor the page break, nor the section break will help us:

We can fill in the pages of the document before entering the text, or after we have already entered the text. In order to fill with color, we need to open the contents of this option with a simple mouse click and select the desired color:

If there is no desired color in the theme's color palette, then we can select the desired color by expanding the "Other colors" item:

And make a color choice while being "inside" the "Other colors" item:

To achieve a greater color effect, we can fill the page with a gradient. Access to the gradient fill is carried out through the "Fill Methods" item:

With a mouse click, we will reveal the contents of this paragraph:

The window that opens contains four options for filling pages:

Gradient, Pattern, Texture, Drawing. By selecting the “Gradient” method from the menu of this window, we can fill the pages of the document with a gradient. The gradient fill settings, in my opinion, are very clear. What will be the gradient fill of all pages of the document, we can see in the inner window "Sample":

I chose a horizontal gradient of 2 colors and a variant that has dark blue at the top of the page and cyan at the bottom of the page. After we have made the settings, click the "OK" button:

And all the pages of our document will be filled with the selected gradient:

Since the main issue on the agenda is: How to make the pages of a Word document of different colors, then we will not consider filling with a pattern, texture and pattern in detail today - we will concentrate on color pages.

Wanting to know about the possibility of using the “Page Color” option to color the document sheets with different colors in Word 2016, I turned to the developer’s instructional materials. After reading them, I concluded: It is impossible to fill sheets with different colors using the “Page Color” option in Word 2016. Let's go back to Word 2010 and continue to deal with filling pages with color.

We can colorize the text areas that are limited (defined) by the fields that we have the ability to change. That is, increase or decrease. Well, or to put it another way - indents from the edges of the sheet. Right, left, top, bottom. Initially, in Word, the margins (indents) of the page are configured. Let's not change anything and color the text areas on each sheet with our specific color and do this on those sheets that we already filled with a blue-blue gradient using the "Page Color" option.

Set the cursor at the beginning of the first page, and then expand the "Home" tab and head to the "Paragraph" section where we select the option to fill the background of the text or paragraph. Having expanded its content, let's choose, for example, red color to fill the area on the first page:

After selecting red, the line on which the cursor is located turns red. Now we will press the "Enter" key until we jump to the next page:

As soon as the first line appears on the next page, we turn to the fill again and select a different color, for example, blue. And the first red line on the second page is colored cyan:

And we, again, continue to press the "Enter" key until we jump to the third page:

Change color again. For example, on the yellow color and continue to press the "Enter" key:

When coloring the background for the future text, the "Enter" key can not be pressed all the time, but periodically held down. In the process of coloring areas of the future text, additional pages that we do not need may appear. To delete them, you need to place the cursor on the last extra page and start pressing the "Backspace" key until all the extra pages (sheets) disappear one after another.

There is another way to make a selection to color the background of the text.

Now I will remove the gradient fill of the pages - for better visibility, another way to select areas for coloring:

This selection method can be used both to remove already painted areas, and to fill with color.

Let's remove one yellow line first. Set the cursor at its beginning:

And then we turn to the fill option, where we select the “No fill” option, remembering that this fill is located in the “Home” tab of the top menu. After our choice, the yellow bar will disappear:

Now set the cursor at the beginning of the yellow field, that is, in its upper left corner:

And by pressing and continuing to hold the left mouse button, draw a vertical line from top to bottom:

After that, let's turn to the fill option again and select the "No fill" option:

The yellow field has disappeared. Continuing to act, as they say, in the same vein, we remove all colored areas for future text:

If you press the "Delete" key, then both the page and the colored area will be deleted together.

In order for us to use this selection method to color the fields for future text and at the same time not experience difficulties, it would be best to first create several blank pages using the "Enter" key. And then, starting from the first page, make a selection and color areas of the future text. And do this page by page:

The unnecessary pages (sheets) that have appeared are deleted by the methods already known to us. It seems that it is better to remove extra pages after entering the text, in order to be sure that we have enough prepared colored pages for future text.

In fact, the idea of pre-coloring areas for future text is very bad. When entering text in the most common way, the color of the areas will begin to change shifting:

It is better to fill with color after the text is entered:

The most effective way to make text on a colored background, in my opinion, is to enter text while creating the color background (background) we need. Since we have already talked about a lot, this will be a breeze to do.

When we start creating a text document and position the cursor at the beginning of the first line on the first page, we will not start by entering text, but by choosing a color for the background behind the text. After our choice, the first line, according to the set margins (indents), will be filled with the selected color (blue in the example):

Now we can start entering text. Each subsequent line that we will enter will immediately be colored in color:

After entering the last character, we press the "Enter" key and color the page to the end, jumping one line to a new page that appears:

Before we start typing on the second page, let's first change the color:

And after that, let's start typing:

And so page after page. But everything we've talked about so far so far is about coloring the background behind text and only applies to text. Inserting between lines or paragraphs, for example, tables or diagrams, will entail unwanted changes.

But how do we fill the pages with different colors completely? Is there such a possibility?

Yes, I have!

If we want to fill the pages of a document with different colors, we must work with each page individually. So we may well consider this process time-consuming. We will try to make it easier for ourselves by using one of the cover page templates.

Why are we talking about cover page templates? And for the reason that many cover page templates are colored and I would say that they are even colorful. That is why they attracted our attention.

Let's open the "Insert" tab of the top menu and open the contents of the "Cover Page" option, where we will select the appropriate template:

Why do I suggest choosing a pattern filled with a blue gradient? Because the gradient covers the entire page. This template is missing a border and outline.

With a mouse click, select this template and the cover page will become the first in our document:

Let's click on the blue background of the title page to make a selection. The blue background is captured by the edit markers:

And in the top menu, the "Format" tab of the "Drawing Tools" functionality appeared. The markers and the "Format" tab tell us that the area filled with a blue gradient is a "Rectangle" shape. Here is the answer to our question about how we can make the pages of the document color.

Let's continue to refer to the "Rectangle" shape as the area or background.

All we need to do now is copy the cover page background and paste it on the pages of our document. Let's do it in a convenient way. Well, I propose to perform the "copy - paste" procedure by dragging and dropping.

Let's press and continue to hold the computer keyboard key "Ctrl", and then grab the title page background selected with markers with the mouse (the left mouse button is pressed and held), and drag it to the first page of our document:

Having brought the background of the title page to the sheet of our document, first release the left mouse button, and only then the "Ctrl" key. Let's align the position of the background on the sheet, helping ourselves with the arrow keys:

The cover page can already be deleted by going back to the "Cover Page" option in the "Insert" tab of the top menu, selecting the "Delete Cover Page" option:

Now let's drag the already transferred background onto the next page of our document. Then we repeat the same steps for the next pages of our document. You can not rush to delete the title page, but do it last. Its presence will help you better navigate with the alignment of transferred backgrounds:

We couldn't help but notice that the transferable backgrounds, copied from the title page, were immediately placed behind the text. This allowed us to reduce the complexity of the procedure. That is, we did not have to do it ourselves, referring to the "Place behind the text" option. Now, by selecting the background on each page (clicking in places without text), we, having opened the “Format” tab of the “Drawing Tools” functionality, fill the backgrounds with the desired colors or gradients:

We can fill pages (sheets) with an image or texture:
