How do I format the background of all pages in a Pages document simultaneously?

I want to mark a document "Copyright" or "Draft" or "For Discussion Only" and I want to be able to do it quickly instead of applying a text box with that message to each page. 
Is it possible to change the background all at once?  My reference point is MSPowerpoint's master slide function.  Does something like this exist in Pages?

Dear Jerry,
Thank you for your prompt answer.
Here is what I understand.
1)  If I have:
a) an Existing Pages document that I would like to stamp with "Draft" across every page, I would follow your instructions to another person outlined above, and I would have to do it manually for every page.  This is true because (a1) each page in my document is its own section and (a2) the existing document was created without a Section Master.  I did follow your instructions, and I got a beautiful "Draft" stamp.
HOWEVER...for a
b) a New Pages document, where there are multiple sections, what do I do?  Can I have a Section Master that cuts across sections? 
When I followed your instructions to the letter, I got the "Draft" to appear in the background.  I moved it to "Section Master."  When I typed a few pages, and the section remained the same, the "Draft" appeared.  But, when I wanted to add another type of page, "Draft" did not appear on the new slide.  I created a new page by Insert > Section >Text Page.  How can I get the "Draft" to appear on all new sections?  Is it possible?
Thanks!

    How do I change the template for a pages document?

    Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
    If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
    The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

  • How do I change the background color in pages on iOS?

    Hello, I am using Pages on my iPhone and am wondering how to set a background color. I know there are easy to do It on the Mac version, but I am not usually on my Mac editing documents (I have iCloud Drive). I have iOS 8.0.2 and the latest version of pages.

    Specifically to add a background color, no. The only workaround I am aware of is to add a text box to the document format and expand it to cover the entire page. Available colors will be limited, and you may need to experiment with the opacity.

  • How do I change the background color on pages I try to print or view?

    when I installed/downloaded Mozilla/Firefox originally, I "set" an option that changed the "background" color for certain pages that I download. When I try to print some pages, the entire background (or some blank spaces) is printed in a purple color. (It uses too much ink to print a page.)
    Can't find where I can change the original settings I used and make the background white, or no color at all.

  • How can I get rid of these grey lines in the background of my pages documents?

    I bought an app out of the store that game me new templates to use in pages. I used one of the templates in making invitations for my little cousins birthday party but now there are these grey lines in the background that I cant get to go away. any suggestiions?
    thanks!

    "the store", "these grey lines"? You realise we can't see what you see. Could you describe the problem and the templates better? If you bought the templates from the MAS, which ones are they?
    Perhaps they are just locked objects.
    Can you click on them?
    Menu > Arrange > Unlock
    They may also be master objects:
    Menu > Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects selectable

  • How do i change the background color in pages

    I am using the app on an iPad2. I I would like to know how to change the background color.

    Create a rectangle, and fill the whole page with it. Change the colour and then use text boxes to put writing on the background. Its a bit complicated because the background can move when your moving text boxes and making the rectangle bigger but you'll get the hang of it. I hope Apple can make this easier to do!

  • How do I utilize the iCloud to view Pages documents created on my MacBook?

    I'm trying to figure out how to get pages documents from the iCloud to view on my iPad that were originally created on my MacBook. Do I need to download the pages app if I already have it on my MacBook? I guess I'm confused as to how to even find what's stored in my iCloud. When I save things on my MacBook are they automatically put in the iCloud?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    In which case you will need to upload and download documents to and from iCloud through the web portal at iCloud.com

  • How do you remove the password from a pages document?

    Hello, for the first time, I created a password for a pages document, and I blocked the document too.
    I've tried to unblock and I can't, and I've tried to delete the password but I can't neither.
    Every time I try, when I close the document tells me, oh sorry pages couldn't save the changes.
    And it says, create a copy o cancel.
    I've removed the copies but now I can't delete the password or even delete it, because it says I'm not allow to.
    Please, help!!
    I don't know what else can I do.
    Thanks.

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

    Someone else in the forum told me how to do this.  If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode.  If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it.  It is freeware and used to help maintain your system.  Good luck
