How can I consistently find the palette for background colors? ---

If you are referring to override background color, it would be at the bottom of Page Settings. ![page](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/f/7f2bd0784ccb7421df039ea9d67c536382df7fbf.png) ---

Thanks, but that menu option is not always visible. I have posted several other queries for which there are no replies from the forum. I see the icon for attachments at top of this help box, but clicking on it does not give me option of attaching screen shot so that you can see my problem. Another problem is that choosing a text box on an Elements page, and then selecting an installed font, does not always change the text to that font. ---

When I want to post a screenshot in the forum, I use Cleanshot X to make the screenshot. I then simply drag it into the editor or copy and paste it directly into the editor. ---

Last week you asked me to send you a link to my Elements file, which I attempted to do, but you never responded, so something did not work. The question then, and now, is how to have the Bgd color for a container agree with my selection in the inspector, as shown on attached file. > **(attachments)** > > ![Bgd color?.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/5/f56c32333201b31612e725d7debe1b15964877ec.png) ---

I replied to that issue [on the forum, two day ago](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/adjusting-text-box/57171/22). Essentially, you have the Preview Columns option enabled that puts a red overlay on the grid, watch the video below… ---

Thanks; the video for Bgd color worked. I am almost done. On my website (elementsapp://downloadDocument/chZHQWOChM4j) on the “Contact Us” page, in the second container under our logo, I would like our company name to be on one line, and so must somehow widen that container.
