Description sugeng 2015-03-23 07:52:36 UTC 
Currently page background is limited inside margins. Can you make background mode for entire page, not just inside margin. 
We, user, can just made white image with fancy border and make it as page background.

thanks

I guess it could be made an option.

Here is one way to achieve what you want: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/4683/full-a4-background-image-in-writer/

Well, let's set to NEW and see what happens.

Currently Writer behavior is unuseful. What's the reason of page background if in the end document (printed or PDF) you will see white margins. Moreover MS Word applies background to entire page, including margins
Yes, there is a way to cahnge background in LO settings, but it will be applied to program, not document and there is only possibility to change color.
I know, The problem is hard to solve due to compatibility issues ("LO guarantees you that your docs will lok the asme since 20 years") and conception of page style, but should be solved IMHO. Don't know how deep does it lie (maybe in ODF standart). I predict disputes over this behavior, I can only say that AbiWord, Google docs, MS Office, Apple Work behaves "correctly". I'm sure that WPS and Calligra fill entire page too.

i will try to find duplicates. Popularity of this question on ASKLO indicates that we are not alone. At least 10 users need this :)

Inherited. From LO 4.4 it's called Page Area, not Background.

Half of year has passed and no feedback from developers. IMHO this bug is important, it doesn't allow you to apply page background.  Even Abiword does it correctly. The only workaround is awful. I have feeling that everybody has forgotten about this issue
