Hi, this is Gary with MacMost.com. Letamp;#39;s take a look at creating a background image for your documents in Pages. Iamp;#39;m using Pages version 5 and weamp;#39;re going to take a look at how to add a background image behind your text. Iamp;#39;ve got a sample document with some sample text and I have this background that I want to set as the background, not only for this page, but for all the pages in the document. So Iamp;#39;m going to drag and drop it in just to get it into the Pages document. But instead of just letting it float there on that page Iamp;#39;m going to go to the Arrange menu, Section Masters and move this object to the Section Masters. Now it is in the background as you can see. So Iamp;#39;m going to scale it up, letamp;#39;s zoom out on this quite a bit, and you can see it. It actually appears there on page 2. Iamp;#39;m going to scale this a huge amount and drag it around, you can see the arrow keys here, so that it kind of covers everything. After
