How to add background image in Pages?

Pages has consistently proved itself to be very counterintuitive piece of software.  I searched the web for almost an hour without a good solid answer to this question.
What I want to do:
1. Add a transparent png as my background, with a cut out center to be used for my content (basically a custom document border).
2. Have that background automatically replicate itself on every following page.
3. Be able to type over the entirety of the image if I want, and after reaching the bottom of the page with my text, have Pages automatically create another page for me with the same layout.
Color me ignorant, but all of that seems impossibly hard to figure out on my own just by poking around / reading tutorials / searching the web for answers.
Help?

I'm not sure what you mean by "inspector / object placement." Where do you find that? The object inspector doesn't have any placement options.
Use the button on the format bar or the wrap inspector as in this screenshot.

  • How to add background image for a JInternalFrame Container?

    JInternalFrame fr=new JInternalFrame();
    //we added to desktop,
    Container c=fr.getContentPane();
    //how can we set background image for a internal frame??
    thanks,
    waiting,

    You can let the container's border draw the background image: caution: some will find this image disturbing.
    One nice thing about this solution is that you don't have to subclass any components.

  • How to add an image in multiple pages?

    Hi,
    First be aware that before posting this, I digged into Google but could not find a solution.
    How to add an image in the footer section of a PDF document of size, say, 500pages? I am not going to add it one by one in very page, it's too time consuming.
    Is there a way to add it in the footer section or any other alternative, so that I end up with the same image in an exact position in all 500 pages?
    Thanks for your reply
    Best,

  • How to set background image in jlist

    Hi all
    is there a way for setting an image as jlist 's background?
    I need that this image is trasparent.
    Any idea or usefull link?
    Regards

    Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum, but there is no need to repost since all the information is available to you in the forum or the API.
    First, read the JList API and follow the link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Lists". It will show you how to create a custom renderer. You will need by make your renderer non-opaque to see the background image.
    Next you can search the Swing forum for examples of how to add an image as a background image. Most of the examples are for a JPanel, but the concept is the same.

  • How to add a watermark in Pages 5.0

    Hello!
    Could anyone please explain to me how to add a watermark in Pages 5.0
    Thank you

    Hi have found the solution. You need go into the View menu and make sure that you have checked the Show Invisibles option. Once you can see the invisibles, you should see a blue line at the top of the "blank" page with a small "document" icon at the right of the line. You need to delete this blue line/icon which will delete the whole page as long as there are no other "invisible items" which may also need to be deleted.
    I did the above and my blank page disappeared from the thumbnails view immediately.

  • How to add an image to a JPanel ?

    hi,
    do you now how to add an image to a JPanel ?
    thanks a lot !

    You can either use the Graphics method drawImage from the panel's paintComponent(Graphics g) method, or you can create an ImageIcon, with your Image in its constructor. And then create a JLabel, passing that ImageIcon in its constructor. Then, you can simple use the panel.add() method to add that JLabel.
    For using the paintComponent method, check out the thread already posted above (I'll type it in again just in case)
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=288769
    If you want to use a JLabel, you can do something like this:
    Image img;
    JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img));
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    panel.add(label);Val
