When students use the library printers, they may sometimes have various troubles.  The following tip may help some students.

When you print a Microsoft Office Word document that includes a background, the background is not printed. Examples of things that can be on a background include colors, pictures, or themes.
This issue may also occur when you use Word as your e-mail editor and you print an e-mail message that includes a background.

To work around this issue, use the version of Word2007.

1.     Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.

2.     On the Display menu, click to select the Print background colors and images check box under Printing Options, and then click OK.
