How do you change the back ground of a page?

This doesn't seem to be working. I go to the page, bring up the inspector, go to page > layout > choose color fill, then use the color wheel, but the background doesn't change. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

If you want to change the background colour of a page, then you need to open the Inspector and go to Page and then Layout instead. If you do this you can change both the background colour of the page and the page colour itself, which can be two different things.
Sometimes you need to double click for the colour to change.

    how do u change the language to english in pages?

    Hello there cmkoko,
    From the Pages help menu,
    Each language has a different spelling dictionary. To make sure that the correct language is selected, select the text you want to work with, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, and then click More. Choose a language from the Language pop-up menu.
    Here is the link for it:

  • How do you change the background of a single page??

    I know how to change the background of a page (wrench tool- document setup- add shape- change size to fit whole page - change colour - done)
    but it automatically makes every page that colour not just one page, please can somebody explain how to make it work. Thanks

    Hello Alp2001,
    Thank you for the details setting a background color in Pages.  When you click on Document Setup under the wrench tool, this sets the background for your entire document. 
    Alternatively, if you want to add a background on a single page but not for the entire document, you can just add a shape with the background color on that page.  I also recommend locking the shape once you add it so that it doesn't move while you are trying to add other items to the page. 
    Follow the steps in this article to add a shape, change the size to fit the whole page, and change the color:
    Pages Help for iPad - Add and edit shapes
    http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.0/#/tan9ad18c384
    Once you have set the background for that page, folllow the steps under the section titled "Lock objects" in this article to lock the background shape so that it doesn't move:

  • How do you change the background color of a page in projects

    I'm making a new photo book in projects.  the theme I've selected has black pages.  I would prefer white pages but can not change the background or I would like to change the theme without having to start all over again.  I have no change theme button in the upper right hand corner.  Any suggestions?

    Don't know what version of iPhoto you're using but in iPhoto 8 (09) we have this to change the background in the Folio theme:
    Wereas in iPhoto 9 and later we have this:
    If you don't that in the version you're using try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • How do you change the ID in a sample page?

    I selected a two column hybrid sample page. When I look at
    the CSS properties, the classes are difficult to read:
    .twoColHYbLtHdr #header. That's way too much noise for me. Is there
    any way for me to change .twoColHYbLtHdr #header to just # header?
    I've tried search and replace, but it didn't work.
    Thanks,
    Denny

    A find and replace in the CSS file will work fine.

  • Changing the back ground screen in Apex

    Hi guys  how do you change the back ground in an application from the normal white back ground to sort of incorporate some sort of wall paper to make it look better 

    In general this will depend on your theme.  But this CSS would work:
    body {background-color: #E3E3F0;}
    It changes the body tag, which is the whole page to a specific RGB color.
    Thanks

  • How to change the back ground colour of the firefoxweb page

    I tried to upgrade Fire fox Mozilla as requested from the home page.. but it did not complete.
    When I went to surf the net the background screen colour was Black and now I could not see the web pages clearly, as some writing is in colour and does not stand out against the black background.
    It used to be a dark pink which was horrible when I used to view some web pages such as Ebay.. can anyone help change the back ground colour on the home page of Firefox.
    Regards

    Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update. 

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • How Do You Change The Name Of A Folder?

    I have a very simple, almost ashamed to ask, question. How do you change the name of a folder? As always, thanks in advance.
    800 mz Flat Screen iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Howard,
    Click (select ) the folder, hit the return key and start typing...
    Before you start typing, you can go to the beginning, or the end of the title without deleting the title by using the back/forward arrow keys.

  • How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    Please keep in mind that Aperture is not an enhanced iPhoto, it is a different application with a different philosophy and a different intended audience. If you approach it with that in mind you will have a lot less frustration as you learn Aperture.
    Aperture adds a layer of complexity that is not needed by many.  iPhoto is a very powerful application and fits the needs of many amateur photographers.
    As for your original issue, as I said I am surprised that iPhoto allows you do switch countries like that and am not surprised that Aperture doesn't. If this is something you really need to do working in Aperture but using iPhoto to order the prints is a good work around and will not be all that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
    As for your new question, the books in iPhoto and Aperture are different enough that the code that created the book in iPhoto wouldn't work in Aperture. What happens when you import an iPhoto library into Aperture is that the images in the book are combined into an album in Aperture with the same name as the iPhoto book. You will need to re-create the book in Aperture uaing the images in this album.
    Hope this helps, post back if you have anymore questions.
    regards
