Can I put background fill behind an entire block of text in Pages?

I am formatting text for an e-book and I would like to highlight several bulleted lists with a light greyscale background. I've tried using paragraph fill, and that gives me exactly the effect that I'm looking for - but leaves blank spaces between the highlighted bullet points in the list. Is there any way to get rid of those white breaks? (I would rather not have to use text boxes, as they must be inline boxes in order to upload properly and the font size of the text within the box and the box itself remain fixed in size - and don't adjust, with the rest of the text, if the reader chooses a larger font size.)
Thank you,
Suzanne

Enabling Character and Paragraph fill to the same light grey eliminates those white gaps without the undesireable Text box consequences. Changing the right margin does not pull in that trailing grey paragraph background. Using body bullet style.

  • Background Fills Behind Text Support with IceBrowser

    Hello,
    I was wondering if background fills is support by the supplied oracle help browser?
    I can open the htm file that I create with a different browser such as Mozilla and it works/
    Using the same file within oracle help I do not see the background fill.
    Thanks

    Hi, Darren:
    If the text lines are in a single paragraph that wraps within the frame, you can use a nested style that applies named character styles by line number (new in CS4) so you can have line1 apply a character style that applies an offset green underline thick enough to back up the text, and line2 use a yellow, etc. You can also set the sequence of nested styles to repeat the previous x-number of styles (also new in CS4.)

  • Can i put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

    I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks.  I have an iPhone 4s.  Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

    No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.

  • How can I put my program behind a firewall or make it more secure?

    I have a client server program and I was reading through my notes. I had jotted down a recommendation to put it behind a firewall. However, I do not know how to do this in Java at all or even where to begin. How do I even create a firewall in Java?
    I'm also not sure if this is the security I need.
    This program is already running inside a network limited only to certain users. However, this particular program is limited only to two users. Also, the client runs on Unix and Windows machines accesible by many users in our project. I would not know how to create a firewall for just this program and just these two users.
    Right now my program is sorta like the basic client/server program examples given in the Java tutorials. It verifies the IP address of the client but like I said before anyone can be logged into that IP but only two users should be allowed to run the commands.
    Would a firewall even work in this case?

    However, I do not know
    how to do this in Java at all or even where to begin.
    How do I even create a firewall in Java? You don't.
    I'm also not sure if this is the security I need.I don't think so.
    I would not know how to create a firewall for just this
    program and just these two users.A firewall is not for restricting access to particular users of a network. It's for keeping unauthorized people out of the network entirely. What you should do is secure the server (how to do this depends on probably many factors), and use a username and password in the client app to control access. The client contacts the server, passing the credentials, and the server either grants or denies access. It's possible you would want to hash and salt the password, depending on how secure it needs to be.

  • How can I put some headings but they shouldn't appear in some pages?

    I also want them to start from page 3 not page 1.
    Thanks a lot!

    Your question isn't very clear, but I'm guessing you want a running header on some, but not all, pages. You can do that by creating a master page with the header and one without.

  • My background image not loading after 32765 px. My page total height is 129866px.

    I am developing a website . When i open my website in Firefox it does not load background properly. It stops at 33,565 px from top. when i load it more time it stops on same situation. Can you please asssit me where i am wrong or it is bug of Fifefox. Is there any salutation of this problem.
    Many Thanks

    This is an old problem in Firefox on Windows that apparently is not solved yet. See:
    * [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950826 Firefox suddenly stops showing background]
    * Likely related: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/960717 "This image cannot be displayed because it contains errors"]
    I'm not aware of any excellent workarounds. In some cases, you can place a background-color behind the image that will be acceptable once the image stops rendering. In other cases, you may be willing to fix the image to a shorter container and scroll the text within that container.

  • How can I put a div at the TOP of the page with a background color? No white space

    I am attempting to put an orange bar at the very top of a page and one that also stretches across the entire width of the page, no matter the page size.
    With the code below the orange bar appears but there is white space between the top of the browser and the orange bar.

  • Putting background solid/block behind text?

    New to Muse (1st day) no background in web development. Have created a master template that has a tiled image for browser background fill.  Page text does not display well on top of the background image so I added a white solid block that serves to define the content area of the page.  However, when I add text to an actual page (not the template), if I add a lot of text the background block does not expand vertically to enclose the text I add. The result is text that overflows the background solid block and displays (poorly) over the background fill like so:
    I am probably not going about this in the right way but am unsure what the correct method would be to define a background color that expands/contract dynamically with the content of different pages.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Instead of using a white rectangle block , you can try to use a white fill for text frame itself which would address the issue.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • How I can get Safari to fill my entire screen?

  • In Aperture, how do you put a background layer behind text?

    How do you put a background layer behind the text to offset the color of the pic from the text color? Right now, some pics have whites and blacks that drown out the text, making it hard to read...

    I forgot: if you rather want to add a background instead of changing the color of your text:
    To add a background behind a texbox,
    simply edit the layout (Click "Edit Layout", click "+") and add a Photo Box;
    drag the PhotoBox behind your text field.
    click "edit content" and add a picture to the background box.
    You'll need to import a suitable background photo, or crop some suitable background from one of your images.

  • Can I put a background image in Form?

    Hi all,
    I want to put a background image in Form. If my Form has only the background image, i can do it. But, if i put on my Form other items such as StringItem, etc. , i can't put my image as a background image. I think that i must create a custom Form by Canvas class, but i don't like that. Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

    Hi there,
    You can do so with the J2ME Polish GUI:

    You can use images or even animations in the background, animate and design the items and so on.
    All the best,

  • How can I put text in transparent background?

    How can I put text in transparent background?
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Good day!
    You can create a new document (»Background Contents« set to »Transparent«), use the Type Tool (T) to create text and then save in a format that supports layers like psd, psb, tif.
    If the receiving application can’t handle those png24 is another option.
