Create a Microsoft Word Template retaining customized background

I was trying to save a Microsoft Word file with customized background as a template. When I used that template to create a new Word document, I was quite surprised that the background was not shown at all in the new document!

Cure of my Firefox problem: turn on the "config.trim_on_minimize" switch

Since I upgraded my Firefox to most updated version (version 3.5, the version I use now is 3.5.3) on my Windows XP PC, Firefox was almost unusable to me! Every time I started Firefox, it tooks me around 3 minutes before I could smoothly browse the first site. And every time I closed Firefox, the "firefox process" would be there for another 3 minutes before it terminated itself.
