: Anchor background-color object to paragraph style in InDesign In a book I'm working on in InDesign CS6 every chapter starts on the next odd page. Every page with the 'Chapter Title' paragraph
In a book I'm working on in InDesign CS6 every chapter starts on the next odd page. Every page with the 'Chapter Title' paragraph style has its own background color (the whole page is filled with this color).
Whenever new pages are inserted before any chapter, the text reflows as is should, but the background color (it's really a rectangle filled with a color) stays in place and I have to manually move it and send it to the back all the time. I tried to anchor the background-color object to the chapter title; the anchoring works but now the rectangle covers all the text on the page. Apparently there's no way to place anchored object behind the text.
Any thoughts?

There's a "paragraph shading" option in the paragraph styles definition box. Play with the "offset" values until you get what you need.
Not sure I understand all of your question exactly (and the math/hack in your comment made my head spin), but couldn't you solve this problem by using layers on some --or all-- of your master pages? i.e., the background color on the bottom-most layer, and the Chapter title text on a layer above...?
