[Gimp-user] Background Help

[Derek_B <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi, Newbie here and awaiting a book to help. However I have a quickie project. I
have created a word doc, blue text and converted to a pdf. I have opened the pdf
and want to make the background white like a sheet of paper with the blue text
on it. Is there an easy way to do this. I have literally downloaded the program
and not started yet. I want to get my image printed on a blue T shirt for my
kids for xmas. So it would be a blue T shirt with a white page on the front with
blue writing on it.

Any help apprciated. Many Thanks in advance.
