I think many of the responders here are assuming that Aleksandr wants to
print the colour.

I take it that he wants the colour on the screen to facilitate his work.

I find that adding a blue background to the page makes it easier to work
with.
However, like a previous post stated the page is coloured but not the
background.
I find this useful.

Now I'm wondering - the background colour intended to be printed and the
background colour as seen when editing on-screen are not the same thing.
Instructions given earlier in this thread will change the printed
colour (indeed, cheaper to use coloured paper!), but is this what the OP
wanted -- he specifically said "when I editing". Did he just want a more
restful screen background? Options | Appearance if so.

A more than decade ago we used Wordperfect as a standard text editor
with the default blue background and white fonts. This appearance was
also an option in older versions of MS Word (maybe also now, I don't
know ...) - it is really more restful, depending the monitor.

Mike,

I think you hit the nail on the head, I read the original post the same
way. I did not think to follow you path to get the job done. I just
hope the OP is following, if not replying.

If the OP only wants the background blue while editing then I *guess* the
only way is to format>page>background>blue, do the editing and then
*remember* to revert the page background before printing.Or is there some
other way?

I remember in the days of DOS etc. formatting the screen to use white text
on a blue background but that didn't affect printing. But that screen
formatting was an OS thing, not an application thing.
