I'm working with the Mac version (2011), but I'm sure the basic procedure is the same:

1. Select the entire file

2. Go to Format>Font

3. There should be a Font Color tab. Change it to Black.

You will now have a solid black document, but never fear, now go to Format>Borders and Shading>Shading.

Somewhere, you've got a pull-down menu labeled style. It is probably set at Solid. Change it to Clear.

Save.
