One final touch to conclude this introductory tutorial:

The background.


You can move to the background by pressing CTRL +M. When you do that, it will look as if you lost all your work. Do not worry. Your work is safe enough.

Draw a rectangle to cover the whole page (ref to page 5) and fill it with a light colour (ref to page 6). You can now press CTRL +M again. Your design should now have a backdrop.
