Since I installed SW2008 I noticed that drawings have a picture to make it look real. It kind of looks like crinkled paper. Where is the option to change the image used? I've looked in the help but all I can find is the background image which is behind the paper space.

Recommended for you

Tools->options->colors...select 'use specified color for drawing paper color. This will remove the crinkled effect and apply whatever color you've chosen from the options located above.

Do I infer from your request that you are not awe-struck and inspired by the new "drawing-sheet-that's-been-retrieved-from-the-trash-can" look????

I like it. It looks like the way it comes back from the checker. I would like to see one with coffee cup stains.

I didn't necessarily want to get rid of the picture, but I did find what I needed from the link you gave, thank you. I expected it to be similar to changing the document background. I geuss that's why I missed it.
 
oooooh! I like the weld spatter look of the second pic. Funny, my check prints always come back bleeding from the checker =(
