Turn Off the Background on Some Pages in Publisher 98

By Jacci Howard Bear, About.com

By default, elements on the background page of a Microsoft Publisher document appear on all foreground pages in your publication. You can choose not to display the background on selected pages.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: NA

Here's How:

  1. With your publication in foreground view (View | Go to foreground) go to the page where you want to turn off display of background elements.
  2. Choose View | Ignore Background.
  3. If you are viewing a two-page spread, a pop-up box will ask you to check which pages to ignore -- Left, Right, or both.

Tips:

  1. Ignore background turns off all background elements for a page. If you want to display some of the background elements, such as page numbers, you'll need to place that element directly on the foreground page.
