This seems easy enough. Using WordArt, create a blue box and put it behind
the text. If you want the same box on every page, stick the box in a
header.
Or am I misunderstanding the original question?

Subject: Setting shading in MS Word
Greetings all!
I am using Word 97 primarily, but I also have Word 7 (for Office 95)
installed on my computer. I would rather be using a proper DTP, but all
