(And Emacs 22.3.) I'd like to be able to change the background color of a piece of text to, say, yellow, by selecting it with the mouse, and then doing Edit -> Text Properties -> Background Color. However this fails with a message "Face ((:background yellow)) not configured for latex mode". How do I get around this? Thanks very much. Kostas
