Using the Tools > Options > Appearance, as stated above, does not
require that the background be changed when printing or saving. The
whole "page" has the color selected instead of just printable area.

Back in the 1980's the office I worked in had several IBM PC's with
Wordstar installed. Wordstar would allow the user to change all of the
appearance features without affecting the OS or any other program. One
of the girls in the office had the awfullest combination of colors you
could imaging, but I guess that is a girl thing. The rest of us had to
either restore the default or use our own custom settings whenever she
had used one of the computers before us.

A more than decade ago we used Wordperfect as a standard text editor
with the default blue background and white fonts. This appearance was
also an option in older versions of MS Word (maybe also now, I don't
know ...) - it is really more restful, depending the monitor.

And How do you change this in Wordperfect?

Not to mention that most printers can't do full bleed.
