622 Working with Templates

single color (such as a button made up of a group of different colored shapes) a ‘replace
colors’ dialog will appear with a list of the colors used in the object. You can choose
which color you want to replace with your chosen color. This way you can, for example,
make a button that uses Theme Color 1, use Theme Color 2 instead.

Once you’ve changed the theme colors in your document, if you then paste in or import
templates which still use the original theme colors, you’ll be presented with a choice. You
may want to import the new objects with their original colors, in which case choose the
‘Don’t match’ option. But more likely you’ll want them to be changed to match the colors
you’ve chosen for your document, in which case choose the ‘Match’ option. The color
matching prompt is shown whenever you import objects which share a color name with
the colors already in your document, where the actual color values differ. See Color
Handling (on page 189) for more information.

Page background color

If you drag a color from the Color Line over the page, and drop it, it will set the page
background to that color.

Once you’ve set the color this way, if you want you can refine it using the color editor.
Right click on the page and choose CHANGE PAGE BACKGROUND from the menu. The
color editor appears allowing you to edit the page color.

When working with website documents, setting the page background color actually sets
the background color for the whole browser window when you view your exported
website.
To set a repeating background texture, drag the photo or bitmap onto your
document. Open the Bitmap Gallery, scroll to the photo you just loaded, click on it
to select it, then click the Background button on the Gallery, and choose the SET
PAGE BACKGROUND option.
