Using OOo 3.1
[Format - Page - Background] provides the means for putting color on
a page, but only within the margins. How can I color the entire
page, outside the margins as well?
Thanks in advance.

You may not be able to under any conditions, it depends on the design
of your printer. Neither OOo Writer nor any other word processor
that I know of can "color outside the lines" so to speak. I think
what you really want is to use colored paper.
I'm only interested in the visual effect so I can save it as pdf, no
printing. I do it in Word 2007 with no problems.

In 'Format/Page' under 'Page' set the margins to 0. Under 'Background'
set the colour you want. Under 'Borders' turn borders on and set colour
to same as your background colour. Set 'Spacing to contents' to the size
you want for margins.
