How to get different page background colors for different sections of a Word document?


Hi

How to get different page background colors for different sections of a Word document? Is it possible in Word 2013 to have multiple background colors?

If not possible in Word 2013, does there exist a workaround for it using a "picture" as a  background, as described here

Thanks

You don't have to insert a picture, you can insert a rectangular shape and fill it with the chosen colour. Put it in the header view, drag to the size of the page and set the wrap to behind text. Change for each section.

If you plan on printing this document, coloured paper would be a much cheaper option.
