Adding colour to frames

You are now going to add some colour to the large frame covering the page. To add a graduated fill style:

1. Select the large frame covering the page.

This frame is locked and so the frame cursor appears similar to a No Entry sign and the frame handles have a cross through them.

2. From the Frame menu, select Properties. The Frame Properties dialog box appears.

3. Click on the Background tab.

4. In the Style group box, click on the second fill style from the left on the bottom row.

Any changes you make when inside this dialog box, take effect immediately.

5. In the Attributes group box, from the top drop-down colour palette, select Dark Yellow.

When you move the mouse pointer over a colour, the colour name appears in the information line.

6. Drag the tint slider to the left until it displays a 25% tint.

Use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to move the slider by increments of 1%.

7. From the bottom drop-down colour palette, select Dark Yellow.
