Due to my eyesight, regular white pages on word processing programs cause me trouble with my eyes and make it difficult to work. Does FreeOffice TextMaker include a way to change the background/page color? The only time I saw this brought up was with the 2021 version; in that answer, in the Layout Tab, there is a section simply labeled "Section," with icons for Columns and Line Numbers and a third icon for Background.
In the Layout tab in my version, however, Section is grayed out and it doesn't include an icon for Background at all. Is this feature only for the paid version?

The "Background" command and the "Dark Document" feature are exclusive to our paid SoftMaker Office products and are not available in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

Thank you for that answer. I guess I'll have to go back to Word for the web
