How do I print a page in color (the whole page)?

I have word 2007 and I just selected Page color on the page layout add...I
wanted to re-create a power point slide in microsoft word...when I did, it
would not print out the page in the color I had selected...on my microsoft
file, it was the "red" color, but when it prints it is white not the color
(as opposed to when I print in Power Point and the whole page is red).

Click on Office Button | Word Options | Display | check the "Print
background colors and images" box | OK.

In Word 2003, you can go to Tools > Options > Print and check the box
for "Background colors and images". (In Word 2007 this box is in Word
Options > Display > Printing options.) If memory serves, the option
isn't available in Word 2002 (XP) and earlier; there, the background
colors and images are strictly for the Web output.

If you're going to print more than one or two pages of this, though,
it's going to cost you a fortune in red ink. It'll be much cheaper to
go to an office supply store and buy a package of colored paper.
