SYMPTOMS
========
Some page borders are displayed with a white background. This behavior occurs
(and may present a problem) if you have the "Blue background, white text" option
selected. (On the Tools menu, click Options, and click the General tab.)
CAUSE
=====
Some border art has a white background, and other art has a transparent
background.
WORKAROUND
==========
There is no way to modify or edit the page border art. To change the background
color back to the standard white background with black text, do the following
steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Click to clear the "Blue background, white text" check box.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The transparency or non-transparency of the border art has to do with the way
the border art was created. Some border art has a white background (in the
actual metafile) instead of a transparent one. Not all of the borders have a
white background. Border art images with non-white backgrounds include the
following:
Balloons (bunch of balloons not the hot air balloon)
Pine trees (non stylistic)
Heart (big red one)
Sun
Red cube
The bio-hazard circle (yellow and black)
To insert page border art, follow these steps:
1. On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading.
2. Click the Page Border tab, and click to select the art you want in the Art
drop-down list.
