FAQ
What should I do if the background color makes text hard to read?
- Open the Page tab and go to Background settings.
- Choose a lighter background color, or adjust it again with a softer custom color.
- If needed, change the text color too so there is enough contrast between the text and the background.
What should I do if the image background is cropped?
- Check the paper size used in the current document.
- Choose a local image with a ratio closer to the page size.
- Apply the image background again and review whether the cropping looks closer to what you want.
Why does the background apply to all pages?
- The Background feature is designed for whole-document page settings.
- After you set a color background, custom color background, or image background, the effect applies to the entire document.
- If you no longer need it, use No Page Background to clear the current background.
How to change page color in WPS Office without affecting collaboration visibility?
