Hello Dotan, Feature and bug sometimes come very close to each other. I solve it as follows: When I want a coloured background for a document to be used in mail or web, • I set all margins to 0 (page style) • I choose the background colour (page style) • I determine a border (can be same colour as background) and use the 'distance to content' to use instead of the margins (still in the same page style) or • I use a paragraph style that determines indents (to replace margins), but that doesn't work as it should with lists (enumeration goes through the right side indent).
