How do you make an image a background image if the menu option is dimmed?

I'm using the Cork Board template in a Pages layout document. I wanted to use the cork background in another page. Option dragging the cork image creates a copy in the new page. I can "Send it to back" but the Arrange->Send Object to Background command is dimmed. The problem is that "Send it to back" does not put it behind the header or footer so my page numbers are not visible.
Oddly, if I just drag the cork image from one page to another, it remains a background object in the new page. Copying it causes it to come out of the background.
Anybody have an idea why the Send Object to Background command is dimmed?

In fact, my guess is that the cork.pdf object is a background object because it is a template transferred from Pages '06 to Pages '08.
During the conversion, some properties are passed even if they aren't treated by the new version.
If some one wish to let some of these items in the true background, as far as I know, the only available soluce is:
create a new object from the delivered template
unlock some items if necessary
remove useless items
lock back the kept item
save the document as a template.
Never change the background property of the kept items.
As far as an item is a "true background" one,
trying to move an other item to the background will leave it above the "true background object".

    How do you create a appleid but i cant select the none option and i don't have anything to pay with.

    Hello, did you mean create an Apple ID without any credit card info?
    If that I can help. Just go to iTunes and choose a "Free" apps to download. After that, it will pop up with "sign in with existing Apple ID" or "Create a New Apple ID". Click create a new apple id. through this process, you will see a "none" choice in payment method while registering the Apple ID.

  • How do you make a fixed gradient background?

    I want to make a background for my site that operates like the one on Newgrounds and many, many others ( http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/ ). The background outside of all the content in the center, that is. Where it starts as kind of an intricate design and then fades into a solid color, which continues all the way down.
    How do I go about doing that?

    I think the ZOOM feature in some web browsers may be giving you a false impression.
    If you don't have it already, download Firefox.
    Hit View > Zoom, text only.
    All of the sites you mentioned are fixed-width, centered designs, not liquid.
    Background images can be repeated vertically (repeat-y), horizontally (repeat-x) or both (repeat) to fill available viewport.  Obviously the image needs to be seamless for this tiling effect to look good.

  • How do you make a realistic looking background blur to show behind a dialog?

    I'm prototyping a Flex app in Fireworks CS4 & have some pop-up dialogs to display.  When they show up the background should be blured.  I know how to get them to show up, but I can't get a nice blur effect that looks like the one you see in Flash.  I've tried a transparent layer with different blur filters, but none look that realistic.  Any suggesions?

    Simply go to the Filters section in the Property Inspector panel, select first your object on the canvas (for example, the background), then click the [+] sign in Filters > a small popup menu will open, select Blur > Gaussian blur, and edit the value (0 = zero blur, 4 or more = a lot of blur). Later you can edit or remove the effect, which is good.
    I often use Gaussian Blur, especilly if I need to make a bitmap look blurred...
    Hopefully this will help you!

  • How do you make sure internet is switched off with the new iso7. In iso6 you pressed the centre button twice and it allowed you to close down open tabs I want to do the same....or go back to is06

    How do you close down the internet in ISO7

    You do the same thing, but now your open apps are displayed in a window view. Swipe left/right to find the app you want to stop, then swipe the app up to remove it. By the way, this doesn't turn off the internet. It only removes the app from memory that may be accessing the internet.

  • How do you make a button's background invisible?

    I'm trying to make a Jbutton in which you can only see the icon on it, nothing of the background to it. I can make the border dissapear, but when i set the background to null it comes out a nice shade of grey which doesnt compliment the image the buttons happens to be over at that time.
    What do I need to do?

    But that may not help, cuz if the panel under the button is gray, that'll just show thru also. ...
    that should've been setOpaque(false) for transparent.

  • How do you make an icon from an image

    Used to be if you selected "Get Info" you could get an icon from the info window. Now all I get is this.

    Yup - apparently the OS does not make actual thumbnails anymore for files; instead, it uses something like Preview to generate them on the fly. This means that when you do a Get Info on them, the icon shown in the upper left is a generic one.
    A solution -
    Lower down in the Get Info window is a preview of the image. Double-click that, and it will open in Preview. Press Command-A (Select All) then Command-C (Copy). This will place the image on the Clipboard.
    Switch to the Get Info window for the file or folder you want to place the image onto as an icon, click the generic one in the upper left to select it, press Command-V (Paste).

  • HT1461 How can you make more 'Ram' available using bootcamp, on the windows side of things??

    Hey, i recently bought an iMac 20.5' (i5) and it came with 4gb Ram
    I am a music producer but the program i use is windows based, so i got bootcamp, all that works fine
    but ive been working on a new song for a while now and the prgoram has an 'indicator' showing how much CPU usage % and ram is being used.
    it is now at 1956mb! which should efffect because i have 4gb! right!??.. no it says (in windows sytem) 2.3gb (available)....
    So i went out and bought an extra 4gb, followed the instructions and Ram went int easy!!. I log onto Mac and yep 8 GB Of RAM!!
    so then i log into windows (through bootcamp ofcourse) and still 2.3 gb available....
    anyone know if i can make more avaible?? or do i have to reinstall windows through bootcamp???
    Thankyou
    P.S. 32 but windows 7 is what i use

    Windows installed using Boot Camp uses all your comptrer's resources.
    Windows 7 32 bit can only use about 3 GB of RAM. The limitation is that 32 bits can not address more than this. If you want to address and use more RAM then you need Windows 64 bit.

  • How do you make seperate photo albums/camera rolls for the ipad and iphone

    I am trying to make photo albums and different camera rolls for the ipad and iphone.  can anyone tell me how to do that?

    I don't think you can in the native iPad Photos app. It's just where all photos save in camera roll. If I sync folders with pic from my MacBook, it syncs as a separate album in Photos, but I can't move pics between them. I've actually just downloaded an app that allows for sorting photos by creating links to the photos to place them in the folders you create--it does not make duplicates of the photos to do this, so no worries of using up space.
    Anyway, the app is Best Album +transfer. Right now on sale for 99€ which was why I decided to get it.

  • How do you make new pages from a page so they have the first page in their address.

    I am talking about something like the adobe site.
    Like www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/whatever
    How do you make a page be under another like the dreamweaver page is a link from the support page.
    My goal is something like this.
    I have www.architecture.com/profile
    I need
    www.architecture.com/profile/Commercial
    www.architecture.com/profile/Residential

    If im understanding you correctly, you want the folder to have an automatic landing page. Ex. If your folder is
    "profile" you want the visitor to see the first profile page when they visit www.yoursite.com/profile. Correct?
    If thats what you need, name the page you want your visitor to see when they go to ex. www.yoursite.com/profile "index.html" or "index.php" ad save that file in your "profile" folder. When you're visitor will go to www.yoursite.com/profile the page you named "index" will open.
    Let me know if you dont understand or if its not what your trying to do.

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

    How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

    It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
    That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
    With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
    But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

  • How do you make background gradient?

    Hey all,
    How would you make the background color a gradient effect,
    such as black at the top fading toward gray at the bottom?
    And also, on top of that, how would you make a rectangular
    main area as your website-content area? It would almost fill the
    page, but not quite- so the leftover width would be the gradient
    background. The rectangular area would have a background of all
    black.
    Thanks!
