I am trying to figure out how to change the color of a Windows XP  (service
pack 2) window for 1 document only. As you may know, if you don't want your
Windows "windows" to have a standard white background, you can go into cntl
panel/display/appearances/advanced and change the color of "window" to one of
the preset, or a custom color.

When I change mine, it's tricky, and I often "lose" my custom color settings.

I am doing a tri-fold brochure for a client. I have changed
display/appearance settings so that I have a cool kind of rose color for for
my windows.

Usually, when I am going to attach a formal email, I highlight the doc and
choose format/background and change the color to a "professional" white
before sending it.

However, in this case, with the columns etc. set for the brochure, as soon
as I change the color the columns disappear! I am doing a revision to this
brochure. When I finished it initially, I just changd all the settings in my
computer to get the brochure out. I don't want to do that again and know
there must be a way to change the color of the window just for one doc,
without doing the universal change for all windows as per above. Suggestions?
Thx!

How does this pertain to Internet Explorer?
