Document Background Color Does Not Print

The color background does not print.   The document was created using Word 2010 beta and the background was  specified from the following tabs: Home-PageLayout-PageBackground-PageColor. The document looks correct on the screen until the Print instruction is issued from: File-Print.  Then, the print preview displays without the background color.

Try File > Options > Display, and tick "Print background colors and images". Does that fix it for you?
