Either

1.Type text in microsoft paint or

2.change the colour of the background in microsoft word

Are either possible?

Yes!

Use the txt tool in paint

Use the background tool in Word

For everything else..... Use

To type text in Paint, click on the "A" icon in the toolbar. This allows you to insert a resizeable text box on to the image, but the box will have a white background afaik.

I'm not sure about earlier versions but in Word 2007 if select Page Layout from the ribbon, around the centre of the screen is a Page Colour option. I'd assume there is a similar option in other versions.

Edit: Foiled again!

Thanks

But can you actually do the other option of changing the colour of the background in word?

I am trying to print these things out and the colour printer we have wont let me it prints colour stuff from microsoft paint alright but it wont print the colour backgrounds in microsoft word

I just tried it myself there and it seems to have printed Ok.
Possibly a driver issue, I don't know.

Sorry mate

Vampireskiss · 23-02-2009 01:53PM

Thanks everyone for your help I need one final thing Im am pasting a picture of a symbol onto the yellow colour background but the picture im pasting has black text and an orange background the ms word back ground is yellow I want the picture im pasting to be yellow aswell so that it blends in with the ms word background but I am having difficulty changing it

Tallon · 23-02-2009 04:14PM

You'll probably have to edit it in photoshop, (change the Hue)
Maybe a bit too advance for you.....

I presume you just made the symbol in paint with TXT in it?
Open it in paind and colour it the same yellow as the word doc
