formatting snaking columns
Hi All
I have a document that I have sectioned to have multiple columns in the centre with single column sections above and below. I would like to add a different background colour to each section. Changing my snaking columns to tables is not an option as tables do not work with my other formatting. Can this be done in Word? If not, do you know if it can be done in Publisher? Thanks for your help Trish

Certainly. Add shading to your paragraphs (Format | Borders and Shading). If
you want the color to go clear across the page (though it won't print to the edge), you'll have to use a background graphic. -- Suzanne S.
