Background transparency
Hi, I'm really not a word advanced user and only starting to discover the possibilities ... which seem to be pretty impressive.... but I am encountering some issues I just cannot understand and I already spent too much time trying to sort them out so I would really appreciate some help .... I am attaching a document so you can get the idea : In the document you will see that the right side has 2 stripes , first page has a blue and black stripes and other pages have a pinky and grey stripe ... First thing that is driving me me mad is I just can't find out how to get rid of the first page .... or change the colors of those stripes . Second thing that is driving me mad is the Pinky / grey stripes should be red and black ... and I can't find out how to change them ... I did get close at some point but whatever I do it always goes back to the same color as if some transparency was applied .... to be honest I have no idea ... anyone kind enough to explain what the trick is ? Many thanks in advance |

Hi ptityop,
You can delete the first page by clicking on the image, then moving the cursor to any edge and clicking again when the cursor shape turns to cross-hairs. Then press Delete. you'll then see a Section break and a page break, with an intervening paragraph break. Select all of those together and press Delete. Your second page should now become the first page. Now go to Page Layout > Page Setup > Layout and uncheck the 'different first page' option. Your grey/pink border will now appear on the first page. As for the grey/pink border's colour, it's actually black/red, but Word is configured to show that on-screen with a washed-out appearance. It'll still print correctly, however.
