Setting a background color or image on a floating box
By default, floating boxes have transparent backgrounds, allowing the document’s background to show through them. You can change this behavior and make a floating box opaque by assigning it a background color or image.

- Under Background, click the Color box and select a color.
To set a background image on a floating box

- Enter an image path or URL in the Image box.
If you set a background image that is smaller than the floating box, the image repeats to fill the floating box by default. If you do not want the background image to repeat, switch to HTML mode and insert the background-repeat cascading style sheets property with a value of “no-repeat” in the floating box’s style attribute.
