Setting colors

Set color options on the Colors page of the "Options" dialog, reachable through the Options command from the Tools menu.

You can select the colors that are to be used for the page, the fields, the workspace and the guidelines.

Here’s what each of the buttons does:

Page

Change the color of the page under your text.

Workspace

Change the color of the area surrounding the page.

Column

Change the color of guidelines showing column boundaries.

Page Numbers

Change the color of all "Page Number" fields.

Date and Time

Change the color of all "Date" and "Time" fields.

Bullets and Number

Change the color of all "Bullet and Number" fields.

Formula

Change the color of all "Formula" fields.

Mail Merge

Change the color of all "Mail Merge" fields.

Print fields using on screen color

Check this box to print "Mail Merge" fields in the same color as they appear on screen.

Ability Defaults

Revert the entire color scheme back to that just after installation.

Windows Defaults

Use Windows default color settings. These are set in the Control Panel under the Windows Program Manager.

Click on the button of the feature whose color you wish to change. The "Color" box is displayed. You can select one of the standard colors by clicking on it, or you can define your own custom color (the color mixing process is explained in your Windows documentation). Click on the OK button to save any changes.
