How do you set a background image in Pages?

I have a simple question. How do you set an image to be the background of a Pages '09 document? How do you put a JPG image behind your regular body text? Surely it's possible, but I can't figure out how to do it.

You just didn't took care to the status of your picture.
It was an inline one
Change its status to floating and the menu item is no longer grayed.
This kind of features are described in Pages User Guide which is also for you

  • How do you set up a simple web page to upload photos from iMac?

    How do you set up a web page on the iMac so you can upload photos and maybe even video from iPhoto to it?

    You really do not need to create your own web page or site to upload photos to the web.
    There are many sites that can host photos for free or very cheaply per year.
    You create your own user location on these sites.
    Do a search for either web hosting sites or photo hosting sites.
    Here are a few you can look at to get you started.
    There's Apple's own iCloud
    Facebook
    Image Shack
    Photobucket
    Picasa
    Flickr
    To name a few.
    Do a search and see which photo uploading site works best for you .

  • How do you center a background image?

    I've been trying to center my background image but am unable
    to do it. I've resorted to trying to center the image instead
    because I couldn't figure how to stretch a background image to be
    viewable on a browser without a repeating image. Can someone
    explain how to center a background image and/or stretch a
    background image?

    body { background-position:center; }
    Maybe?
    Background images don't stretch.

  • How can you make a background image change to a faded state at a certain point in scroll?

    I'm referring to a technique I've seen used in Relevant Magazine's iPad app if anyone has used it. I understand having a shape behind text that has a feathered gradient and when you scroll the text the shape gradually fades out the background image. But this is not the effect I'm trying to acheive. On some of the articles in Relevant, the screen is a full image and as you scroll the type up, the entire background dims when you scroll to a certain spot.
    I've tried searching for hours, but I feel like I'm getting no where because I don't really know what to search for. I feel like it requires use of something other than what DPS is capable of. Hopefully this makes sense and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions and help!
    Thanks!

    Try applying the feathered gradient to the scrollable content frame, not the background frame. It will appear to change the color of the background frame.

  • How do you change a background image in an HBox control via actionscript?

    Hi All,
    I would like to change the background image of a HBox control
    when the user clicks on a tab (tabnavigator control). I call a
    function on the 'activate' method of a VBox control, within the
    TabNavigator. So for each of the tabs when a tab is selected an
    appropreate image is displayed in another part of the screen.
    Thanks for any insights/help
    regards
    Davej

    Binding a string variable and using the show() event instead
    of the activate event will work. See Below
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    [Bindable]
    private var mystring:String = new String();
    private function dispAssocIMG(f3rd:String):void {
    mystring = f3rd;
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:HBox backgroundImage="{mystring}" id="first3rd"
    width="567" height="336" y="209"></mx:HBox>
    <mx:HBox id="mid3rd" width="457" height="336" y="209"
    x="567" backgroundColor="#956944">
    <!-- Tab Navigator -->
    <mx:TabNavigator height="336" width="457" >
    <mx:VBox label="about me"
    show="dispAssocIMG('image1.jpg')"></VBox>
    <mx:VBox label="test2"
    show="dispAssocIMG('image2.jpg')"></mx:VBox>
    </mx:TabNavigator>
    </mx:HBox>
    </mx:Application>

  • How do You set -noverify in an HTML page that calls an applet

    I have an applet which runs fine from inside JBuilder when I specify a
    -noverify switch in the debugger. (java -noverify myapplet.class)
    Without this switch, I get a verification exception.
    So I need to specify the -noverify switch from inside a webpage so that when the client runs it, he does not get the same exception.
    The question is how do you pass -noverify to JVM from an HTML page that uses <applet> tag and javascript?
    Thanks

    Odd, because I work on an applet that gets built with 1.4. We have 30,000+ clients who use it every day, and I'm sure we don't tell them about setting -noverify switches in their plug-in control panel, and we don't (cuz we can't) set it in the applet (object/embed, actually) tag.
    Of course, I suppose it could be a backwards compatibility issue going from compiling in newer version than it's run in.

  • HT3384 How do you set the text layout in Pages on the vertical? How do you center the text?

    Stru,
    You posted your question in the Pages (word processor) discussion area. Hope you can find your way back to Excel without any difficulty. The answer wouldn't have been much different had you posted in the Numbers discussion.

  • How I can set the background image in Muse for the menu I have in PSD

    I have design a layout and I want to get them converted from PS to muse. Can someone know how I can make this.
    I am trying to set the menu's top and bottom image in muse.
    Let me know how I can do it better.
    Thanks
    kristina

    Hi Kristina,
    You need to cut up the image you pasted above and also create an on/off state for all menu items. Actually, there are 4 states: Normal, Rollover, Mouse Over and Mouse Down, but you'll usually use two images as some states share the same image. Then you need to use the menu widget and supply your cut up images for all states in that widget. Check this link http://www.adobekb.com/building_your_first_website_pt4.html at around this section:

  • How do you set up the update password page in ADFS 3.0

    Hello,
    We have recently migrated to ADFS 3.0.  Everything is working except the update password feature.  In the KB article
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn280950.aspx  the section under Update Password says that I need to enable  the ADFS endpoint -
    /adfs/portal/updatepassword/ and restart the ADFS service.
    This has been done, but when I go to
    https://sts.domain.com/adfs/portal/updatepassword.  All I get is a page that says "An error occurred.  contact your administrator."
    What I am trying to accomplish is this. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn280950.aspx
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Cheston

    it does not work domain joined machines! yes, I know. you are not the first one trying. it should also support domain joined machines, but unfortunately it only supports
    workplace joined machines
    <QUOTE>
    The update password page is only available for Workplace Joined devices
    </QUOTE>
    on the domain joined machine you can just use ctrl+alt+del to change the password

  • How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

    How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

    Something like this, Ive thrown in an ImageIcon on a
    button too for good measure.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class JFrameImage extends JFrame {
    public JFrameImage() {
    Container c    = getContentPane();
    JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
                 public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
    ImageIcon img = new
    = new ImageIcon("background.jpg");
                      g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
                      super.paintComponent(g);
            panel.setOpaque(false);
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("onButton.jpg");
    JButton button = new JButton(icon);
    panel.add(button);
    c.add(panel);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrameImage frame = new JFrameImage();
    frame.setSize(200,200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    Going totally fancy pants
    ImageIcon bigImage = new ImageIcon(bgImage.getImage().getScaledInstance(getWidth(), getHeight(),Image.SCALE_REPLICATE));
    g.drawImage(bigImage.getImage(), 0, 0, this); Will scale the image to the size of the panel
    whereas
    for (int y = 0; y  < getHeight(); y = y + image.getHeight(null))
    for (int x = 0; x< getWidth(); x = x + image.getWidth(null))
    g.drawImage(image, x, y, this); Will give a tiled effect
    Try tiling with an animated gif and bring your processor to a standstill.

  • How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

    Hi,
    I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
    I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
    I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
    I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio,  just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
    Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
    Kind regards,
    Dan

    Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a  gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

  • How do you set up your Configuration Manager client when Imaging?

    OK everyone we got an issue that we need to take care of sorry if this seems like a dumb question but we cant seem to make this work.  How do you set your configuration manager client when you deploy your image(s)?  I created package and pointed
    it right to the config manager install directory just like the recommended one for USMT but it does not seem to work.  I also tried to leave it blank but it appears to be mandatory.. So my question how do YOU get it to work for your areas?
    Thanks

    that might be the problem I dont see a "Microsoft Configuration Manager Client 5.0 All" anywhere. We threw something together that points to:
    \\Server.Domain.com\SCCM_Install\SMSSETUP\CLIENT
    What is happening is this.
    Have a task to deploy Windows natively to the workstation
    Drop applications to the workstation
    do updates
    capture back to server
    All it does is 
    Drop the OS down
    copy the Agent files
    join to the domain
    reboot
    sit
    sit 
    and sit
