True and it is logical to conclude that changing the background of the page
is what is wanted, but the multistrip does have those properties.

One could also put in a solid colored bitmap and tile it (this is a page
property so pages could have different colors) -- don't know what the cost
would be in size, however.

Hi Tom,

I think you are looking at the page properties. In the properties
dropdown,
select the multipage itself and it has background and foreground
properties.

Unfortunately, that only controls the background colour of the 'tab' area,
not
the page areas. I think using a frame on each page is the way to go.
