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:

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 background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

    Are you using the latest DW? If so, then it isn't letting you
    because
    bgcolor is deprecated and shouldn't be used.
    The correct way is to use css to define the background of a
    cell
    CSS:
    .blackcell {background-color: black;}
    HTML:
    <td class="blackcell">whatever in the cell</td>

  • How do you change the background color?

    I saved a Word document as a PDF and the background color is yellow. The Word document is white. On the PDF, the background is yellow and the inserted graphics and boxes are white.
    How do I change the background color of the PDF? And is there a default setting for the color. This happens every time I need to create a PDF from a Word document.
    Thank you.

  • How do you change the language to english in pages?

    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 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 you change the background color & font in a text-only popup?

    It has been ages since I did this and I can't seem to remember how. I tried to edit the style sheet but it only has options to change the text-only popup hotspot/link and I need to change the background color and font style within the popup itself. Tried Adobe's help but it had no answer for me. Any one out there know how to do this? I am running RoboHelp 7.

    By Popup do you mean a link that when clicked causes a separate topic to be displayed in a seperate window (popup) or Drop Down text?
    For Popups that are displayed in a new window then the font and colour is changed in the topic that is displayed. Simply open the topic and change colours / features as required
    If you are using drop down text and confusing this with a popup then the font and colour is changed when creating the drop down text. Right click the text and select Font to change colour etc.

  • How do you change the background colour of the bottom part of calendar on iPhoto

    I have created a few calendars and photo books from iPhoto, but can't seem to find how to change the background colour of the bottom part of the calendar (where you write) to match the top part where you insert the photos.  Consequently you end up with a mismatch which doesn't look as good.  I can't believe that apple have not considered this since here are about 5 or 6 colours to choose from on the top section.  I am not running the latest version of iPhoto (which is 11 I think) as I'm not on Lion- is this significant??

    Some theme will let you change the color of both pages. The travel themes, Vintage, Seasons, Kids, Colored Paper, Modern Lines, Classic (only the border around the date area), With the Big Date theme you can change the background on both pages.

  • How do you change the background in an editable region?

    I have created a template with an editable region in it.  I then created a web page based on the template and have added text to the editable region.  I would like to change the background color of just the editable region and just for this web page.  How can I do that?
    Thanks.

    Well... am sure others will correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems fairly simple.
    1/ There must be a tag identifying that editable area. Either a <div>, or a <table>, or whatever...
    2/ Create a class in you stylesheet with the background colour you want to use and assign it to the tag
    3/ Alternatively, if you'd rather use an inline style, then go to the tag in code view, right click, select style from the menu and then in the quotes right click again and select background-color. Choose your color and you're done.
    If the editable area is a <div> for instance, your inline css should look like this:
    <div style="background-color:#CCCCCC"> This will give you a grey background</div>
    Cheers,
    JJ

    I applied a theme to my keynote presentation but now I want to change the back of a single slide. How can I do this??? thanks in advance!!!

    Hi
    While you are at the slide that you want to change:
    Open Inspector
    Go to the second tab, named "Slide"
    The last option is named "Backround"
    You can choose a color, a gradient or an image fill from there
    And that's it.
