The Ignore Master Page command on the View menu doesn't work with Web page background colors or textures. A Web page background is not the same as a master page. You can remove a background from your Web page.
- On the Format menu, click Background.
- In the Background task pane, click No Fill.
I added a background and now my Web page takes a long time to download.
If you select a picture file for your background texture, make sure it is 20 kilobytes or smaller. Large picture files will require people who are viewing your Web site to wait a long time for the graphic to download.
