2. Select the object and choose a Fill, Line, or Text
button at the top of the Swatches tab depending on the desired
effect.
3. Click on the scheme colour that you want to apply to the fill,
line, or text.
If an object's fill uses a scheme colour, the corresponding sample in
Swatches tab will be highlighted whenever the object is selected.
PagePlus also allows you to modify any existing colour scheme and
create your own scheme from a colour spread. See PagePlus Help for
more information.
Gradient and bitmap fills
Gradient fills provide a gradation or spectrum of colours spreading
between two or more points on an object. A gradient fill has an editable
path with handles that mark the origin of each of these key colours. A
bitmap fill uses a named bitmap—often a material, pattern, or
background image—to fill an object.

Bitmap
You can apply preset gradient and bitmap fills from the Swatches tab to
the fill or outline of a shape or text frame. Table cells as well as artistic,
frame, and table text can also take a gradient or bitmap fill.
