Microsoft Word 97 Tutorial

1. You can choose no fill for a white background or select a color to fill the entire screen with one color.

2. If the color you want is not shown, select More colors to pick a different color.

3. If you would like a background picture, click the paintbucket again and choose Fill Effects.  Word' 97 provides sample marble, paper, and wood textures to choose from.

4. You may also choose your own background picture, if you have one to use.

5. If you don't have a background picture and you think all the backgrounds provided with Word are really ugly, then choose a background from our custom library.  Feel free to use any of our backgrounds, just remember to link to us.  (I'll show you how later.)

After you have decided on a background, you can begin typing your text.   If you choose one of our custom made backgrounds, you'll want to use the indent button (arrow key pointing right with rows) on the second toolbar at the top of the screen to move the cursor over.
