    Hi Folks,
    How do I change the background colour of a page in InDesign?
    I'm just looking to use a solid black to place graphics on top.

    Cheers,
    Steve.

    Hi oriel,
    there's no page background as such in pro layout apps.

    If it's a one page document just throw in an image box and colour appropriately.

    If it's a multipage document and you're using the same colour flood on all pages - apply the image box to the master page.

    Thanks!
    I'm used to html! Currently having a self-taught crash course in InDesign.

    Cheers,
