Page cplor Blocking Header
Hi, I have a specific page in the document that needs to have a page color. I know the workaround for this is to create a shape filled with the color to cover the entire page but set it to hide behind text.
I managed to do that.
But the document has a header that look like below:
first row of text: ABC Pte Ltd
second row: black rectangle shape to look like separator (it is set to wrap as "tight")
When the page shape was stretched the entire page, it did not block the page content but it block the header (both text and rectangle).
How do I fix this so that the page color shape does not block the header?

Put the shape for the page colour in the Header, with its layout set to be Behind the Text and use another shape for the rectangle formatted so that it is in Front of the Text.
If the page colour is only required for a specific page in the document, insert a Section Break before and after that page so that this arrangement can be made to apply to only that page.
You can increase the transparency for the shape so that the header becomes visible through the shape. See the screen shot below.
Alternatively, fake the header by adding a text box on top of the header (a text box which is actually anchored to a paragraph on the page).
