How to put text over a dark or busy background
                                   so you can still read the text.


Make a small table just for your text.

Insert a table with 1 row and 1 column into one of the cells (squares) of a larger table on your webpage.

Then put a lighter coloured background in this table you are making for your text.

How? Right mouse click, select 'Table Properties', then select a background of a plain colour or a picture, like a picture of canvas. (see the collection of backgrounds)

How do you make your table go to the center of your page? Right mouse click, select 'Table Properties', then select your 'Layout' 'Alignment' to be 'Center'.

With a table inserted for text like this, you will be able to read your text, even if your whole page background is a dark and stormy ocean!

How do you make you text stay away from the edge of your text table? Right mouse click, select 'Table Properties', then select your 'Cell padding' to be about 20.

How do you make the dark line around the edge of your text table? Right mouse click, select 'Table Properties', then select 'Borders', and change the size and colour.Click Save.
