Template objects can be modified using the same techniques as report objects. To change the color or pattern of objects in a template, however, you use the template Property Inspector, rather than the Color tools on the tool palette:
The Fill Pattern property defines the pattern to use for the space enclosed by the objects. You can define the background and foreground colors of the fill pattern using the Foreground Color and Background Color properties.
The Edge Pattern property defines the pattern to use for the borders of the objects. You can define the background and foreground colors of the edge pattern using the Edge Foreground Color and Edge Background Color properties.
The Text Color property specifies the text color to use for the object(s).
