Add a page background

Add page background puts a soft colour behind everything on a page, like tinted paper.

Steps

1. In the rail, choose Organize, then Background in the Marks group (its full name is Add page background).
2. Choose a colour. Cream is chosen when the window opens; the last button opens a picker for any other colour.
3. Under Pages, choose the page you are on (or the pages you selected), or All pages.
4. Choose Add background.

Good to know

• The background goes behind the text and pictures, so nothing is covered.
• Pale colours keep dark text easy to read.
• A page that shows nothing, because its visible area lies outside the page, is left as it is. Every other page gets the background, and Monstera names the pages it left.
• Undo with Ctrl+Z.
