RE: Formatting

Hello Jackie,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

To change the background colour of the exsisting backgroud shapes from the background stencil do the following:

Go to the background page (with the shape attached)
Go to Format/Theme
On the Theme Colours Task Pane select the Theme you wish to use and from the drop down choose Duplicate.
Then in the Custom section of the Colours Task Pane on the Theme you have dupilcated select edit.
Then change the background colour and ok.

Thanks and kind regards

Maggie
