Business Computing Tips

The background is the white page you type onto. You can change that to a
different colour by going to FORMAT => BACKGROUND and clicking on any of
the basic colours there, or if you are feeling more adventurous by clicking on
other colours. Other colours might not look the same on other people's screens
though. Choosing a colour works just the same as the other colour formatting, click
here for a review.
Fill effects allow you to work with more colours on the screen at the same
time and/or patterns. Basically play around with it all, you can always undo.
Click on the different tabs to try different things.
One trick is remembering, that if you use a picture as your background, it
will need to be the right size or it will start to repeat around the edges.
That can look quite strange. It is better to use something that already has a
recurring pattern to avoid this problem.
The other thing to remember is that none of these turn up when you print
the document. In order to do that, you must use PRINTED WATERMARK.
Next week: more formatting.
