to be clearer:
on toolbar there is format, then themes. I like the theme called compass. how do i get it to print with my document? currently it only shows up on the screen but when i print it comes out with a blank background. The suggestions so far do not seem to apply to my version...

What program are you using, M$-Word, MS-Works or something else? Theme?, "Stationary" I could understand, I'm confused.
Give us more pertinent info, and maybe we can help.

According to Microsoft, Themes apply document backgrounds that are designed for viewing documents on the screen only. To add a printable background, borders, or shading to your page, use the Printed Watermark command (by pointing to Background on the Format menu) or the Borders and Shading command (Format menu).

Background in MS Excel and possibly Word are just that. Backgrounds only, they are there for screen view only. If you wish to print them, you will need to import the pic into the doc or spreadsheet. Some fine tuning would then be needed to make them transparent enough to appear as a background when you print.

Don't choose themes. Right click and choose send to or save as 'document'. It should then appear in your documents and print from there. :) hope it works.
