    Hi folks,

    I just figured out something very useful.

    Some people use the "Page background" layer as a plain layer.
    I use it for creating rectangles of exactly the size of the page.

    In need of a coloured page background? Just hold down the Ctrl key and drag a colour from the colour bar on an empty part of the page. Now this a feature, most of you should be familiar with.

    Now you can set the "Page background" layer editable the usual way via the layer gallery. And hey presto you have a rectangle as described above. Ok, not "that" spectactular...

    Now it's time for my tip for the XaraXone, I guess :-)
    You want to get rid of the "Page background" layer?
    Just hold down the Ctrl key and drag the "No color" icon from the colour bar on to the page. There you are!

    I now say bye...
    kindly.yours:

    P.S.: Keep your fantastic work up and going! It's YOU, who sells Xara! Just my two cents :-)

    It may find its way to the Xara Xone very soon. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

    I use the more common method which is to right click on the page and select Default Page Background.
