Correct - can you delete the post as it doesn't apply & might just fog the issue ...

I would if I could, but I don't think that's possible, is it? If you know how to please let me know cause I was searching around and can't find that option.  And sorry again for the inconvenience.

TO THE MODERATORS:
I put this post in software/tutorials unintentionally (my error), instead of in software/other - I'd really appreciate if you could transfer it as it's not a tutorial.
Many apologies for this.

Hi @m654321

In libreoffice is quite easy too:  right-click on the blank file and select "page", this will open a dialog window where you can set different styles including page background color. In your case go to page tab and use the drop-down menu.

I don't usually make a habit of reminiscing on how it used to be with Windows OS & its software - that said, changing the background colour of the whole page, and saving that change, for an individual file in MS Word, was dead easy.

However, I find that when I set the background page colour in LibreOffice Writer, all my Writer files subsequently have that colour, rather than limiting the colour change to a specific file.

I can't find any simple intuitive way of doing the above in LibreOffice Writer.
Can someone give me a clue on how to do this ...

Many thanks.
