The two sets of arrows indicate the height and width of the fill bitmap. Drag the center box with the Fill Tool
to reposition the fill within the object as shown in the top right image. Drag the outside handles (small squares) to resize the fill bitmap. You can resize
the fill bitmap non-proportionately by dragging the horizontal or vertical control handle (the small box at the end of the arrow). To resize the fill bitmap proportionately, hold down the Shift and Ctrl
keys and drag either control handle. To rotate or skew the fill bitmap, drag the outside control handles separately or to rotate the fill bitmap proportionately, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys while
dragging the control handles. |

ADDITIONAL CONTROLS: These controls apply to nudging (moving a selected object with the arrow keys) but they also can be employed when resizing and rotating fill bitmaps. These apply to the nudge amount specified in the General tabbed section of the Page Options dialog (Utilities > Options).

Select the bitmap in the gallery then press Background. This will give you a good idea how the selected bitmap will work as a repeating background image for your Web site.
To return your page background to the default white color, right click on the page and select Default Page Background from the pop up menu. |

The left half of the image, shown here, was exported over the white page background and
shows a distracting white fringe. The right half of the image was exported over the bitmap background image and blends cleanly into the background. |
