Color page background

"How can I color each page of a five-page document with a different color?"  Thanks a lot!

  • Are you saying using Full-Page shapes behind text:

     

    1. Go to the page you want to color.
    2. Click Insert > Shapes > Rectangle.
    3. Draw a rectangle that covers the entire page.
    4. Right-click the rectangle → choose Wrap Text > Behind Text.
    5. Right-click again → choose Format Shape.
    - Under Fill, choose your desired color.
    - Under Line Color, select No Line.
    6. Repeat for each page with a different color.
    If you plan to print:
    Go to File > Options > Display and check:
    - “Print drawings created in Word”
    - “Print background colors and images”
