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

  • In Aperture, how do you put a background layer behind text?

    How do you put a background layer behind the text to offset the color of the pic from the text color? Right now, some pics have whites and blacks that drown out the text, making it hard to read...

    I forgot: if you rather want to add a background instead of changing the color of your text:
    To add a background behind a texbox,
    simply edit the layout (Click "Edit Layout", click "+") and add a Photo Box;
    drag the PhotoBox behind your text field.
    click "edit content" and add a picture to the background box.
    You'll need to import a suitable background photo, or crop some suitable background from one of your images.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Send object behind text

    Can you send an object behind text in the Ipad pages app so that the text is over the top of the object?

    After some researching I found it more productive to use a
    textArea component.
    One reason was the UIScrollBar is attached to it so
    dynamicallt resizing and moving is a breeze.
    I looked into the movieclip method swapDepths() to change the
    depth of movieclips and found
    it may be useful down the road.
    The main point of this thread was the dynamic UIScrollBar
    sitting on top of the area when created.
    With a dynamic textArea it positions itself acording to the
    Layer hiarcy. Add setSyles and there is
    no reason I see to use Dynamic text unless for less
    overhead???
    Thankyou kglad for you input!

  • 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.

  • How to: Add Conistent Overlay/Text On Top of Picture Slideshow

    Hello everyone - am fairly new to Keynote. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this just not sure how ...
    I am putting together a picture slideshow as part of a presentation I am doing ... have a lot of pictures to cycle through ... maybe 100 ... anyhow, it is very easy to add all the pictures by dragging and dropping them and also to change all the transitions and timing at once ... it is a cinch!
    However, I am struggling with a way to overlay a title/text on top of ALL the images (same logo/text for all of them). I have played around with creating my own "Master Slide" that has the text I want to display, however, the image always covers/blocks the text ... I noticed that I can enable something like "allow master slide to interact with the layers of the other slide material", however, I have to manually click each picture and "Send to the Back" in order to see my text/logo. This is a pain!
    Is there an easier way to do this ?
    Thanks,
    Damon

    In my experience, if you use a text box on a master and it's set to be a placeholder (or it's the actual Body box of the slide), then you put a media placeholder (photo placeholder) on the master slide, while the master will NOT let you put the text in front of the placeholder, on any actual slides that you make that use that master, the text shows up in FRONT of the placeholder. I put a placeholder on a slide and wanted it behind the bullets. It doesn't look that way on the master, but when you make a slide from it, sure enough, the photo is behind the bullet box.

  • 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?

    Thank you.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Form- End result is text on top of text, WHY?

    After completing my form which I was creating, (after steps I want saved, I save it then preview to make sure everything looks fine and no problems till the very end). I hit preview and there are lines of text on top of one another in many areas of my form. It was not like this at all until the very end. I checked the scripting and it seems to be not the problem. I even sent it to another person's computer and it does the same thing.
    It is not showing this way in the Design Mode.
    I also checked to see if it were the "preview" size but that didn't appear the issue. What I do not understand is that when I print the form out, it is perfect. Can someone help me understand what is going on and solutions to solve this issue please? I am new to forms, Adobe Acrobat and LiveCycle so please provide an answer that I can understand easy.
    Here is a sample of what part of my form looks like.

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of possible reason for your problem.
    Check these solutions, maybe they can help you.

  • How to make a border around a pic-in-pic?

    I use adobe premiere pro cs3. What is tehe best (and hopefully an easy way) to create a border around a pic-in-pic movie. Is it correct that I can't find an option for that? I make this kind of things now by placing the second clip in track video-2 en then changing the size. But there is no option then in wich i can specify the thickness and the color of a border.

    Use a color matte on track 2 and your PIP on track 3. Size both to your liking, for instance track 2 sized to 50% and track 3 to 45%. The difference in size determines the border width, the color of the matte is your border color. Start with the color matte using motion/scale/position, then copy and paste attributes to track 3 and scale this further down to create the desired border width.

  • HT3705 how i can solve format behind text troubleshoot?

    when im goin to move a picture, i go to format objects, and then select layout, then i select behind text and press ok... and this message is pop up:
    "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"

    Where do you go to format objects? In the menu? Where do you select layout? Nor can I find "behind text". Could you describe what you do with the wording that is in Pages?

  • How can I put text on top of a graphic in Framemaker 11?

    I am using Framemaker 11. When I import an image from Photoshop (EPS file) and put a text box on top, I can't get the text to be on top of the graphic without jumping to the next page. Is there a setting that I'm missing in Framemaker? The image is just borders, like a frame, and I'm trying to put the text inside the blank space.

    I suggest you use the text frame tool (to the left of Arnis' supplied screenshot) and set the background of the text frame (the diagonal b/w lines below the text frame tool) to None.
    When all else fails, add the text to the graphic, save as PDF or other appropriate format, and place as needed.
