How do I change the default color in pages.

How do I change the default color in pages.  Everytime I try to copy and paste a passage, I am unable to do so because it seems that the ink is always white on white.  Sometimes I am lucky and can change it using the color box in the format bar, but it's a rarity when I'm able to do it.

What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

    Hi John,
    Thank You for your reply
    I know that can be solved by using skin.
    but when I use (dark - medium - light ) the appearance change without using skins.
    I ask is there any way to change the default color (blue) with any other color.
    - It means when I write a dark in decorativeBox theme I found the decorativeBox in red color (or any other color) instead of blue color.
    - Where can I find the place which say the blue is the default color?
    Thank You..

  • How do I change the default color (gray) that 'Edit - Find' uses?

    When I search for a key word in a PDF file viewed in Safari web page using Edit -> Find 
    It defaults to highlighting the text it finds in light gray which is very hard to see. I would like to change the highlight color to something much easier to see on the page - like red for instance.

  • How do i change the background color in pages

    I am using the app on an iPad2. I I would like to know how to change the background color.

    Create a rectangle, and fill the whole page with it. Change the colour and then use text boxes to put writing on the background. Its a bit complicated because the background can move when your moving text boxes and making the rectangle bigger but you'll get the hang of it. I hope Apple can make this easier to do!

  • How do I change the background color on pages I try to print or view?

    when I installed/downloaded Mozilla/Firefox originally, I "set" an option that changed the "background" color for certain pages that I download. When I try to print some pages, the entire background (or some blank spaces) is printed in a purple color. (It uses too much ink to print a page.)
    Can't find where I can change the original settings I used and make the background white, or no color at all.

    Specifically to add a background color, no. The only workaround I am aware of is to add a text box to the document format and expand it to cover the entire page. Available colors will be limited, and you may need to experiment with the opacity.

  • How do I change the default color scheme in Dreamweaver CS6?

    Hi All
    I just updated to CS6 on my work computer from CS5 on my personal computer (preferences and stuff were not transferred), and I'm trying to figure out how I can import my custom color scheme that I was using in CS5. In CS5 I was able to replace the Colors.xml file instead of going through each individual color option. I haven't had the same success with CS6.
    In CS5 the Colors.xml file was located at this path (Mac)
    /Users/%name%/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5/%localization(en_US)%/Configuration/CodeColoring
    The problem with CS6 is that there is no Dreamweaver CS6 folder at that path after "Adobe/"
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions? Looking at code on a white background is hurting my eyes!

    Do you think this maybe has to do with Mountain Lion?
    Here's a screenshot of no Dreamweaver CS6 folder in Library/../..
    And no, it's not in the "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium" folder either. I keep going through all of the folders hoping the Dreamweaver cs6 folder will show up, but nothing! Thanks for your help guys. If you think of anything else, please respond!

  • How do I change the default font In Pages 08

    When I open a new blank document the Font is Helvica. I want Verdana to be the default. This seems like a dumb question, but I can't see any way to do it. Thanks for any help.
    Owen

    You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
    While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table. Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

  • How do I change the background color in pages on iOS?

    Hello, I am using Pages on my iPhone and am wondering how to set a background color. I know there are easy to do It on the Mac version, but I am not usually on my Mac editing documents (I have iCloud Drive). I have iOS 8.0.2 and the latest version of pages.

  • How do I change the default colors used by Flex charts controls?

    Default 28 colors in mx.charts.styles.HaloDefaults.
    I want to add some colors, How should I do?

    I'm tryint to solve the same problem. There is a solution to reset the array (or to change in your case) HaloDefaults.defaultColors on the preinitialize event for example for Application.
    <s:Application ... preinitialize="onPreinitialize()">
    <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
         import mx.charts.styles.HaloDefaults;
         use namespace mx_internal;
         import mx.core.mx_internal;           
         public static const myDefaultColors:Array = [ 0xff000b, 0xc87eb];
         private function onPreinitialize():void{
              HaloDefaults.defaultColors = myDefaultColors;
         ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <!-- Some chart -->
    </s:Application>

    When I start my FF browser with my chosen homepage, a default tab labeled "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" appears. I would like change that tab permanently from Firefox to Facebook. How do I do that?

    Thanks, it worked. I didn't try it before because I thought it would change my original home page, but it didn't. So basically I have two home pages - one as the main page and one as a tab. Thanks again!
