I am trying to make a simple brochure. I have some text and a few pictures. I want to change the background from white to a color and perhaps add a border. I see an option under the Tables section to format color, but it is only giving me the option to format the color behind selected text. I want the whole page to be one background color. As soon as I click on a general spot on the document, the option to change the color is greyed out. I just want to change the white to perhaps a tan or grey. How do I do this? I should be done with this by now and I am stuck with this simple task 
I appreciate any help.
