Is there a way to format the background of a document in Pages on my iPad

I am wondering if there is a way, using Pages on the iPad, to format background color.  I have a document that I want to use a dark blue background on with white fonts over.  I can do it in Microsoft Word but it looses the background when it comes into Pages as well.
Thanks! 

To change the document background color in Pages for iOS do the following:
1. Tap the Tools Menu (wrench) > Document Setup
2. In the Document Setup view tap the Insert Menu ("+") in upper right and select a colored rectangle
3. Position the colored rectangle to cover the entire page
4. With the rectangle selected, tap the Styles Menu (brush) > Styles  to select a style of rectangle and any options such as color.
Note: You can also apply an image to the background in a similar manner using the media tab of the Insert Menu - adjust the opacity using the Style Menu > Styles > Style Options.
5. When done,  tap Done to return to your document.
Good Luck.

  • Is There a Way to Make the Background App Be Useable?

    Hi. Is there a way to make the background useable? For example, you have a fullscreen only app in the background and you want/wanted (which is the correct grammar btw, those who're native speakers and why?) and you have Safari for some tutorial, is there a way to access the background app (for example if it's a drawing app you're learning).
    It is possible I guess if the background is/was (which is the correct grammar again btw and why) was resizable.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gbu.

    Another way to be able to get to the tutorial in Safari would be to double-click the titlebar of the drawing app's window. Doing that should minimize it, dropping it into the Dock, thus making the Safari window visible. You can bring the drawing back up and front by clicking its icon in the Dock.
    I can see a lot of confusion happening if it were possible to have the top window inactive and one in the back of it active. One would have to be really alert as to which window was the active one, to avoid something happening in the wrong place. I'm glad it doesn't work that way.
    As far as the drawing app not behaving in accordance with Apple's guidlines re full-screen windows, well, that's on the publisher of the program. Apple publishes developer guidelines for a reason.

  • Is there a way to mute the background music in a slideshow so the audio of an included video can be heard?

    I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 (710.42) on a MacBook Pro.  Some of the slide shows I have developed have videos included along with photos.  I have added background music to these slide shows with the sideshow music selector.  The videos have audio that I want the viewer to hear, however the background music continues to play and the video audio is hard to hear, and when there is music in the audio of the video, the two musical pieces tend to clash. Is there a way to mute the background music so the audio of the video can be clearly heard?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    That's called 'ducking' and no, not with iPhoto. You need something with more control of the soundtrack.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for. 

  • When adding a text box to a book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid color, so the text can more easily be seen?

    When adding a textbox to a page in a photo book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid background (rather than right on the photo), so that it is easier to read the text?

    I don't believe there is a way to change the background of a specific text box, but with some themes you can change the background of the page to a different color. Or are you wanting to put the text box on top of an image?
    And I believe you can change the color of the font by highlighting the text, right or control-clicking, and choosing show fonts.

  • Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?.

    Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?  There are two options offered in General Preferences, Appearance Options - Dark Grey or Light Grey - but even the Light Grey is much darker than that in Photoshop CS2.  I would like to make the background much lighter.  All advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks for your comments.
    I have seen that the background can be changed in PSE7 by using a slider in Preferences- General;  I don't understand why Adobe didn't keep that facility.

  • When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time?

    When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time? Much appreciated.

    I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

  • Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

    I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release.  Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
    Now Pages will open these files.  Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages? 
    (Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

    Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

  • Is there a way to force the tab order to skip a page and then return to that page on a form?

    I have a multi-page form with a required page layout.  The problem with the current form layout, is that I'm finding my users are getting to page "20" and it seems like the natural end of the form...and stop entering information and submit.  The problem is, there's an additional form field on the next page that MIGHT need important information.
    The information in that final field is only present in about 10% of submissions, but is crucial to the file if present.  As I said, the page layout is required.
    Is there a way to change the tab order to go from the last form field on page "19" to the form field on page "21" and then back to the form fields on page "20"?

    Thanks try67, but it isn't a required field.  As I mentioned, only about 20% of submissions will require filling it in. 
    There isn't a submit button.  Not even sure what I would do with/or how I would implement a submit button.  After processing the form, the filled out form is 'Saved As' to keep the original forms integrity intact.  The 'Saved As' file  is renamed appropriately, and then it is printed to a PDF file and attached to the appropriate customer file.

  • Is there a way to make the background transparent ..

    ... so that i can import the rendered movie into keynote and not have black visible?
    Project: I have photographs that need to dissolve into each other and play like a movie. The photos are not all the same shape (horizontal, vertical and square) so that when I bring them into FCP, of course to accommodate the various shapes there is space around them, which is black.
    I want to export the movie to play in a Keynote presentation but i want the slide background to be visible as the photos transform from horizontal ones to the vertical ones. How can I do this?
    In Livetype, when i render a movie I can tell it not to render the background, then I get a transparent effect to import into FCP or Keynote. but I don't think I can dissolve photos into each other without putting them on separate layers and adjusting opacity ... not time efficient for me, especially with over 100 photos to work with in all.
    I suppose if push comes to shove i can export the slide background to FCp and just layer it under the photos, but I was hoping to try the transparency route. (would it mean making a mask for each photo?)
    Any advice would be helpful, thank you
    Elizabeth

    I followed your instructions last night and made a little trial movie, imported into Keynote, and it's just what I wanted! Perfection!
    Thank you very much.

  • Are ther any way to change the background of a book that you purchased?

    I always found reading over a bright white background on books very tiring for my eyes.
    Instead of flooding them with eye drops, can we can change the background of the books or PDF to a softer background?

    When you open your book - tap on the AA icon in the upper right and select - Themes from the resulting window. You can select Sepia or Night from the themes.
    Sepia is a softer background and Night is white on black. Maybe one of those will be easier on your eyes.

  • Is there a way to adjust the size of comment boxes in Pages?

    I want to make my comment boxes larger so I can view the entirety of a comment rather than simply see bits and pieces in Pages. Is there a way to do this?

    There are no controls to expand the dimensions of comment boxes, in either Pages '09, or in Pages v5. The latter has a larger comment box with internal scrollbars. In Pages '09, comments can print and export to PDF. In Pages v5, comments are lost on print or export.

  • HTML Import : Is there a way to specify the ordering at time of multi page import?

    It appears the ordering may be alphabetical.
    Is there a way, maybe by placing a metadata file somewhere, to specify the import order to avoid having to set the order from Folio Producer?
    Thanks,

    I believe you want to use the sidecar.xml feature to accomplish this.
    And there's a great online tool for generating the file, too:

  • Is there a way to make the arrow keys scroll through a page (webpage or other)? Lately, it seems to go right from the top of the page to the bottom, skipping everything in between.

    Is there a way to make sure the arrow keys scroll through a page rather than jumping from the top to the bottom?

    It is kind of strange that the files are not being overwritten. If you publish to a local folder and upload with an FTP app you should be able to set this to over write the old files.
