Color background

I am using Scribus for the first time. I created a 40X30 inch document that I added 15 png images into. I want to fill the background with a color I created in gradient but I don't see how to apply that color into the background?

hi jackie

you can't apply your gradient to the empty canvas. you need to create a full sized square and apply the gradient to this object.

So I need to create a new document and start with that color and then move all my graphics over to the new document?

utnik

no! – you can place your 'gradient rectangle' in the background of your present document. (...or even on a master page, if it's needed on every page or on a number of pages...)

So I created a rectangle the same size as my document and gave it the gradient color, but it covers up the images I had imported into the document.
