How to customize switchboard background

18
Guys, I want to add text and change the background for each screen on the switchboard and as always my question is how do I do that. If I open the switchboard in design view I can customize the background that will apply to the rest of the screens, but I have no clue on how to change the background for each sub screens.

Thank you for taking your time.

I believe you've discovered one of the many reasons why very few developers use Access' native Switchboards! Most of us "roll our own" using standard forms, which allow much better control as well as better formatting. I believe you either have to accept one style background for all your switchboard pages or you have to replace your pages with forms. Sorry!
