You can modify the attributes of the textbox background in the Textbox Attributes dialog by checking the corresponding checkbox and setting a value (if a checkbox is unchecked, the corresponding value will be ignored).

•Shade: use this value to modify the textbox background's shade. This value is in percentage, where 100% corresponds to the full color, and 0% to white.

•Color: to edit this option select one of the list of colors contained in the current GridTemplate.

•Overprint: activate this option to add or remove the overprint attribute from the textbox's background fill (only available when using InDesign).

This group of options appears in the macros resulting actions, the saras advanced change actions and the current month and current week mini-calendar options.
