Inserting images into header

In the previous version of Pages, I could have an image in the header.


This can be important because it can serve as a kind of letterhead fucntion.


It appears that in the new version of Pages that I have just downloaded, it is no longer possible.


This is very disappointing. Surely people must want to have images in headers loads and loads of times. How come such a simple, expected function has been removed?

Hello Everyone, there is a very easy way to add an image to the header of every page of your document. Apple just changed the approach. I wish they had offered some migration advice, however they did not. So, here is what you do.


  1. In the menu bar click on Insert > Choose. Select the image you want to add to your document.

    You can also drag-and-drop media or copy-and-paste media into your document. The main point here is that you get the media (JPG, GIF, PNG, AI, PDF, Etc.) onto your page.

  2. Position your media however you want it to appear on every page. Click on it and use the Format options to style it as desired.
  3. With the media still selected, yet positioned exactly where you want it to appear, in the menu bar click on Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object To Section Master.


That's it. Now that media (object) will be visible on every page of your document that uses the same Section Master. You can create additional section masters under Setup > Section.
