Generally, we print Word documents without background images but sometimes, we need to print Word document with background images. When you added background images to document via Page Color tool then you may not find image in the printing. By default, the option to print background colors and images is turned off. But, MS-word allows one to print the background images as well in addition to viewing. Images added as watermark print without making any setting.
But when images are added via Page Color tool On Page Layout tab, these steps come useful. Here, we share with you the steps to print background images in Word 2007 and up.
Step 1:
Open the document with page background that you want to print.
Step 2:
Click on the File tab or Office Button.
Step 3:
Click Options button or Word options located at the bottom of column on the left side.
Step 4:
The next step is to click the Display tab and scroll down to the Printing section of the window.

That’s all!
This setting will remain active for all documents that you open in Microsoft Word. You can anytime turn off this option when you don’t want to print background image in a document.
