just an extra piece of trivia,
with ms word, when you open the 'format' menu, then choose 'background' - you have a choice of
- colors
- fill effects
then under 'fill effects' a choice of
- gradient
- texture
- pattern
-picture [lets you use a picture as sort of a watermark - or even to put text all aound it or over it]

if you downloaded open office as johnwill sugggested, i imagine it would have the same / similar options available, and most likely in about the same place - play with it a bit - would save the double print
[i don't use open office so i can't suggest exactly how to do it]

Hi daniel_b2380, is microsoft word also a free program?

[daniel_b2380]

no it isn't, i was just saying that open office is an equivlant software, so it most likely will also have those options - sorry, wasn't trying to mislead you
