Hi all,

I am trying to change the background color of a page in word document. But i am getting error. This is my code.

Local $owObj = ObjGet("","word.application")
If @error Then ConsoleWrite("Obj Error " & @CRLF)

Local $odoc = $owObj.ActiveDocument
Local $colorArray = [136,151,109] ; Olive Green
$odoc.Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = _ColorSetRGB($colorArray)
$odoc.Background.Fill.Visible = True
$odoc.Background.Fill.Solid()
If @error Then ConsoleWrite("Error in Color change - " & @error & @CRLF)

$owObj = 0

Exit

And this is the error msg

Error in Color change - -2147352571

EDIT : I would like to know about using rgb colors in autoit.

That code is working, the problem is that you can't see the color change in Print Layout view, Draft view and Outline view. It's only going to be visible in Web layout and full screen view modes.I'm not getting an error message when I run it though.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

@BrewManNH Thank you. Let me check. :)

Edit :- Yeah, you are right. But why ?. If we adjust it manually, then it will be ok in normal print layout. But what is the problem if we changed it programatically ?

No clue why it's like that but Microsoft says that's the way it works.
