I am formatting a 2 page document. When I try to apply a background page color it does not cover certain sections of the page. Mostly these sections contain hyperlinks.

I would like to have the whole background covered in a uniform color.

Thanks.

    At a guess, the affected text ranges have been formatted with shading which overrides the page color.

    If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.
