Pictures behind text?

Hi there.
In the new Pages (2013) I am having trouble putting pictures behind the text. Does anyone now how to? (Not just putting a textbox on top of the picture).
It used to be no problem in the old pages.
Thanks
Lars Lund

Menu > Insert > Section Break at the foot of the page you want the image to be in the background, then click in the following page:
Toolbar > Document > Section > uncheck Match previous section
And you are still better off using Pages '08/'09.

Trying to insert a picture behind text in Word 2011 for Mac

Can someone please help me? I am very fluent in Word 2010 for Windows, and this was a simple process. I was attempting to create a document in Word 2011 for Mac, like I've done many times on my pc. I wanted a picture in the background, with text on top of that. In the windows version, I would simply go to headers & footers, insert my picture, and set the word wrap to "behind text." When I closed the header/footer, I could put my text on top of the picture and by adjusting the text color and placement, I could create greeting cards, posters, flyers, whatever. Yesterday I tried to do the same with Word 2011 for Mac, and could not get rid of the white background behind my text. After attempting all the tricks I knew, I finally gave up. Can someone out there please point me in the right direction? (I tried to include a screen shot, but can't figure out how to use that little "insert image" button up there either. Sigh.)

Since yours is a question about a feature in MS Word for Mac, I would recommend reposting your question in Microsoft's Support site for Word for Mac. The experts there would be more conversant in that App.

Text on top of Pics or Pics behind Text

Does anyone know how I can have my picture behind my Text in Pages 09. I know the generic way is to print the picture and reinsert the paper back into the printer and let the text print on top of it. This would suck. I have a picture that I have Faded which covers the whole page. I want to Type on top of this picture. This will have a nice affect. While reading the info on the page you can slightly see on the invitation what the event is about. Please help me figure out how to get the cursor on top of the pic so as to add text on top of it.
Thanks

Select the image by command clicking on it:
+Menu > Arrange > Send to Back+
Create a textbox from the Toolbar at the top of your document window, with the text in it and position it over the image.
You can fade the text if you wish using:
+Inspector > Graphic > Opacity+
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu and familiarise yourself with how Pages works. This is not dissimilar from almost any other program

"the serve application,souce file, or item cannot be found. make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, or removed"

Images Behind Text in RTF Template

While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?
Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1
Thank you.

My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages.

My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages. I tap the picture, then it just goes to a "thinking" screen and says "Restoring..."
I tried restarting, but it still won't allow me to open pictures.
Please help!!

My iPhone 5 is also having this problem. I just received it2 days ago and it would let me open mms messages, but ever since yesterday it will have a loading screen and never let me see it. I've just been having to save my picture into my camera roll and view it that way

Cannot send pictures via text message since software update...HELP!!!!

Although I am a BIG FAN of BB Torch (have had several), BUT since it was discontinued, I had no choice but to "up grade" to BB Z10...IT was working just fine...NOT as good as the Torch though, but I was getting use to it...TILL the new software came along last week (Tuesday), so after doing just that, up dating my phone, I saw that I was NOT able to send or receive pictures via text message. I did called ATT, deleted everything, resintalled my data/information...and STILL nothing.
I "google" the problem, and was sooooo SAD to find out that I was NOT the only one, and that THIS problem is AN OLD ONE (2013), but BB has done nothing to fix it.
I did read on of the technical support answers and followed every single step, but STILL NOTHING, NADA...no able to send neither receive pictures...PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Well, interesting... glad it worked out.

Adobe Photoshop Touch: Disable snapping in when moving pictures and text

Hallo,
I really have to disable that snap in when I move imported pictures or text in a file in Adobe Photoshop Touch but. I didn't find a feature yet to disable it.
Can you help me please?
Thank you.

For either importing images or adding text, there's a magnet icon with a checkmark in the options box; tap it to disable snapping.

My iPhone 3GS is no longer able to send pictures via text??

I've done a total phone reset, taken it to the ATT store (they checked all the MMS settings and they were correct), sync'd it to itunes and downloaded all updates...but still can't gte it to send pictures via text?
This all started last Monday when I traveled out to las Vegas...every picture I tried to send would get the status bar about 95% across on the send before popping up a red exclamation point next to the picture that gives me a "message failed to send" error. Here's a screen cap:
[IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/firebird1999us/securedownload.jpg[/IMG]
Any ideas?

I had same problem. Check your Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network - make sure your MMSS has 2 // After http, ie, http//... If you have to change this, make sure you switch iPhone off and restart after 20 seconds, go back to your settings to make sure changes have stayed put. Then take a photo and MMS it to yourself, this will take a minute or 2 to go through.
Hope this works for you

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

Anchored objects behind text

Is there a way to make an anchored box sit behind text? I have a section title with section numbers. I would like to place a piece of art behind all the section numbers. The box always comes out on top. I can create a new paragraph style with autonumbering for the section into it, place it over the art, group it, and then anchor it. The only problem is, now the section numbers won't show up in the running head. Any ideas? I'm using CS3. I used to be able to do this in FrameMaker. Thanks.

Can't be done with anchored objects - sorry.
But you can convert your text to a table - and that can put a background in there.
OR
Use Paragraph Rules to highlight a line of text or a pargraph of text

Hi - Need advice on placing pictures and text within DIV's

I am new to CSS and am creating DIV's to structure my page.
I am trying to do two things and i imagine the solution will be similar or the same for both issues.
Firstly I have created a container DIV in the centre of my page, within that I would like to place pictures and text.
My questions are
How do i get one DIV to sit beside another one? it is defaulting to sitting underneath it, I have adjusted the box size etc.
When adding text I would like it to sit next to the picture (located in the top left corner) it is currently sitting below the picture.
many thanks
Mark

Here is a tut on positioning divs's:
http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/
When adding text I would like it to sit next to the picture
You can create a class to float the picture left, something like this:
.pic_left {
    float: left;
    padding: 5px;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    margin-left: 0;
When it's floated left the text will be next to it.
Your markup would be:
<img src="images/picture.jpg" alt="xxx" width="175" height="165" class="pic_left" />
Then add the text.

Selecting Graphics Behind Text

Hello,
I’m using Pages ’08 and working with a neat, layered, grouped graphic. There are three layers: a dark background graphic, a lighter middle graphic, and white text in a text box on top. All three use the exact same dimensions and are stacked one on top of the other for a total of three layers, grouped. None of the layers cause wrap.
I’d like to select one of the graphics to edit the color and find that I cannot do it without ungrouping the items, moving the text layer out of the way, applying the new color, putting the text layer back in place, and then regrouping everything. It seems like unnecessary steps. It seems as if I should be able to use a modifier key and do a series of clicks to activate the layer that I want, much like when I used QuarkXPress and InDesign. Is there a similar key stroke in Pages?
The user’s manual says “To select a floating object that’s behind text, place the pointer outside the text area, press the Command key, and then drag across the page until the object’s selection handles appear.” That doesn’t solve my concern, though.
I've attached a sample of what my graphic looks like. It would be great if there were key strokes to use. If not I'll have to go back to each instance of the graphic and make changes to each one.
Please let me know if you have an idea of how to make this work.
Thanks,
Scott

Pages does not have any modifier keys to click down through layers like other DTP software.
Unlocking and staggering the layers is the only way. There is an averaging command that does however let you centre them back on top of each other.
