# Background properties

The **background properties** define the **background** for the **body section** of a table element. The **rows** of the table are displayed in front of this **background**, and **visibility** depends on the **row definition** and **even/odd row settings**.

***

## **Editing the Background Content**

1. Click **Edit** to open the **Edit Background** window.
2. Design the **background section** by adding **page elements** and adjusting properties.
3. In the **File menu**, click **Close**.
4. Click **Yes** to **confirm changes**.
5. Click **OK** or **Apply** in the **table properties window** to save the new **background settings**.

## **Remarks & Best Practices**

* When clicking **Edit**, you can **design the background** with almost **unlimited customization options**, similar to **creating a normal page**.
* You can add **various page elements** (except other table elements).
* **Page properties** are replaced with **Background properties**, allowing you to set:
  * **Background color**
  * **Width and height** (automatically determined by the table element).
* The **visibility** of the background depends on:
  * The **row definition**.
  * The **Even/Odd rows settings** of the table element.
