White fill for text box in Affinity Publisher

[Ken S]

How do I put a white background fill in a text box. Every time I try it just changes the text colour.

Hi @Ken S and welcome to the forum.

To get a full text box you have to use the shape tool.

For example, create a rectangle. Then select the Text Frame Tool and place the mouse pointer over the rectangle until you see this icon .

Use the Text Frame Panel and set the fill

Oh yeah, I didn't even think about the Text Frame Studio panel.
I guess that's because I rarely or never use it. That's quiet easier as my solution.

Yes, it worked, thank you for your help.
