Adding Colored Fills

You can fill a shape with a single color or apply a background color to text. (If you apply a fill to an image that has a border, the border’s color changes.)

To add a fill:

1        Select the shape or text item.

2        On the Home or the Insert and Modify tab, in the Items Style section, click Background.

3        In the Background - Fill Settings dialog box, on the Color tab, click a standard, pre-defined color or type a hexadecimal value in the Solid Color box.

To select from a larger palette, click the Full Color Palette button. Click a color and then click the x button to close the palette.

4        Click OK.

Note:  You can also change a shape’s color on the Inspector. Click the Style tab and then click Drawing.
