How to change background page color of one page in a Word document?
By default, when you apply the "Page Color" feature in Word, it changes the background color of every page in the document. However, if you only want to change the background color of a specific page, there isn’t a direct method - but you can use a simple workaround to achieve it. Here's how:
Change background color of one page in a Word document
Change background color of one page in a Word document
There is no built-in feature in Word to change the background color of just one page without affecting the others. However, you can mimic the effect by inserting a full-page rectangle with your desired color behind the text on that page. Follow these steps:
- Go to the page in your document where you want to change the background color. Then click "Insert" > "Shapes" > "Rectangle".
- Draw a rectangle that covers the entire page. Then, on the "Format" tab, click "Shape Fill" and choose the color you want.
- With the rectangle still selected, click "Format" > "Send Backward" > "Send Behind Text".
The rectangle is now behind the text, effectively changing the background color of just that page.
