Ok, no, I'm back, this generates another problem where there's also padding around the background image in the cover page (top of the page I linked), and I want a full bleed for that. How do I get background images to go all the way to the left/right but, simultaneously, not have text go all the way to the edge of the window?
I'm attaching two screenshots of the same page and window configuration, first without padding and then with, to illustrate the problem.
