How to set a background color in Crystal Reports XI

[handle1134]

Hi

I use Crystal Reports XI to make a report that should be a yellow, as backgroud.
Then the report must be exported to a Excel sheet, that should keep this color.
I tried to add a image the size of the report and send it to back. But in Excel, the image is moved to the begining or the end of the report, in free cells.
In Crystal, there are not only tables or text fields, but also empty space amoung them.
So how do i set everything to yellow, and remains like this when I export to Excel?

Hi,

You don't need to use an image at all.

Use the section expert to set a background colour for each report section as required. When you export to Excel, this background colour will be maintained.
