Using the Background page
Use the Background page, pictured in Figure 315, to add color or a graphic to the background of the table of contents.
Adding color
To add color to the background of the table of contents, select from the color grid.
Note
|
Even though the table of contents may have a shade behind it while editing, it is actually not shaded by default. It appears shaded because it is a field and will appear to have the same shading all fields have.
