How do I change the colour of a page in Pages without using a floating shape or text box?

I want to change the colour of a page in Pages without having to stretch out a floating coloured shape or using a text box to write the text in. I have been stretching shapes and using text boxes for years but surely there is an simpler and more elegant way to do this? Plus, I want to be able to type several pages of continuous text and not have to split the text up into multiple text boxes. Any help most welcome.

There are a whole lot more really essential features missing in Pages than this.

    I have two iCal calendars on my iPhone that sync to google. It works fine with push but both of hem has the same colour. That makes it hard to see the diference.
    How can I change the colour?

    I looked into this before, and at the moment there is little you can do to customize the inputrender tag, short of subclassing it and adding the functionality you require

  • I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

    I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
    When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
    I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
    The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either.

  • How can I change the year of an album in itunes11 without changing the years of all titles?

    How can I change the year of an album in itunes11 without changing the years of all titles. For example: the reissues of an 1982 album has a 1995 bonus track, but I want it to be sorted as an '82 album? In earlier versions, when itunes sorted my album "by year", it took the year of the first title as the album's year (which makes a lot of sense). In itunes 11, however, the /highest/ year of any title in an album is taken to be the album's year. This upsets my entire catalogue. Can this be changed, will this be changed?

  • How do I change the paper size in an existing Pages document?

    How do I change the paper size on an existing Pages document?

    So are your text box set to floating? You can tell that by looking in the Inspector>Wrap Tab when you select the text box.
    If I had to guess I would say that the text boxes are floating and when you change the size of paper the text that you have in the main body area is shrinking so that it does require as many pages and you are losing the text boxes at the end. Is that correct? If so, they are still there, you just have to add page breaks to get to the pages that you lost and you should see them again.

  • How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

    how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

    The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

    Hi,
    Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
    Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.

  • How do I change the colour of text in a cell in a JTable?

    I am trying to change the color of the text in a single cell in a JTable. I have tried not adding a cell renderer and it changes the colour of text in all cells.
    I have tried adding a cell renderer to the table and it does the same ie all cells text colour changes.
    I am able to add a cell renderer to a column and it changes all the cells in the column.
    I cannot figure out how to change just one single cell's text colour without effecting the other cells.

    Ok, so if i create my own cell renderer do I set it as the default renderer for the whole table i.e.
    table.setDefaultRenderer(MyCellRenderer, renderer);
    Does this set one cell renderer for the whole table or is there an individual one for each cell?

  • How do I change the colour of a PS frame?

    I am creating christmas cards and adding photos of my kids onto christmas backgrounds. I am dragging frames from the right hand side but want to change the colour of these frames - can someone please tell me how to do that?
    I've worked out how to do it by clicking on the black/white circle and using the hue/saturation but when I go to do that with the frame on the new background, the colour of the background changes instead of the frame. I need to change the frames colour while on the background to get an exact match to what I want (does that make sense???)
    Is there an easier way to create a frame for the photos? I also want to create a text box / frame (with the christmas message) with a solid colour background (different to the main background) can anybody tell me how to do that?
    An example of what I am trying to do is here http://www.invitations2impress.com/christmas-cards-gift-tags
    Thanks in advance )

    In a nutshell, you have to simplify the frame layer and erase the interior.
    Here are the steps:
    Create your background.
    Add a new layer:
    Drag the frame you want to use onto the editing surface.  The frame will come in on its own layer:
    Simplify that frame layer:
    Choose the Magic Wand Tool and give it these settings:
    Click on the interior gray area of the frame with the Magic Wand to select it, and hit your Delete key:
    Switch to the Eraser Tool and erase the stuff that's left in the middle:
    Select the empty layer (Layer 1 in this example) and use File...Place to place your image on it.  The layer name will change to the name of the image.  Adjust the size and placement of the image.  Your layers will now look like this:
    With the frame layer selected, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, making sure to "clip" it to the frame layer.  Adjust the sliders to suit:
    The final result:

    I am using Keynote 6.2.2.  I have prepared a chart which displays the quarterly income (as a points on a line) and expenditure (as bars) for the past 3 years.  I wish to highlight the Q1 expenditure bars for comparison reasons.  At the moment all the bars are coloured red (and the income lines, blue).  How can I either change the colours of just the Q1 expenditure bars for each year?

    You need to change to;   plot columns:

  • How do I change the colour and keep the gradient?

    I've downloaded an EPS from Shutterstock with a series of icons that look like buttons and would like to change the colour breakdown, but keep the shading/ button 'look'.
    Please can you show me how? When I try to select a different colour breakdown of blue it turns grey and solid.

    Thank you very much for your suggestion. Unfortunatly I have not managed to get that to work either - see above, when trying the change the path colour to another blue (in one place - the highlighted row only) it comes up grey in multiple places (see group and mesh changed above).
