Fill Effects Gradient not applied to Page ?
I'm trying to apply a fill effects Gradient therefore I go to Design > Page Color > Fill Effects but when I click OK it's not applied to the page ?
I can't even see the gradient background in the document. Could there be a setting ? I'm searching and searching but can't get it to display ?
You should see the gradient in Print Layout view.
Note that page colors in general won't show up in printouts (or PDF versions) unless you first enable the option to "Print background colors and images" at File > Options > Display.
Also, remember to save in the most recent file format, as I wrote previously.
