Paint Shop Pro 7 'No backgroound style selected'

Recently started using  Paint Shop Pro 7, an upgrade from PSP 5.  When I use the Fill tool it says: 'No background style selected. This tool requires a non-null background style. Check the settings on the color palette.
All I want to do is change the background color with the Fill tool.
Also is there a Help or tutorial somewhere. Since Corel bought Jasc it is hard to get support. I guess because Corel wants you to buy their impossibly complex Photoshop.

Thanks.

Thanks for your knowledge and expertise. The tip about Tool Options and the guides on YouTube are most helpful.

Hi Allen, glad it helped you, wow good job making a pencil sketch
 looking at your image results that is not what I imagined you wished to do. lol
Did you use the effects browser and convert the image to grey scale first.

May I suggest to you  to include another tool called Paint Net for this purpose and others.
