How can I configure MS Word for Windows to use the full 800 x 600 resolution
of which my VGA card/monitor is capable? My understanding is that when a
program is installed, there should be a section asking at what resolution 
I want to run the program, but there was no such section when I installed Word.
I want to use the highest resolution so that I can see the print preview as
clearly as possible.

While I am on the subject, how can I make the backround blue when I am in the
shell? Is there a standard way, or does it depend on the VGA card? I couldn't
find how to do it in the VGA software manual.

Thanks.
