Hi,

Im trying to add color to the page background, however i only want color on
certain pages and not on the entire document... anyone know how to do this?

thanks in advance


With the cursor somewhere in the text on the page, insert a drawing rectangle,
fill it with the color you want, size it to cover the whole page, and send it
behind the text.

Unless you have a photo printer that can print all the way to the edge of the
paper, you'll have an uncolored border around the page whose size depends on
what your printer can do.
