Hey I usually drag photos into my pages doc and then write text over them by selecting "place object in background" or whatever it was. I do that to make flyers and tourbooks. On the new pages it is not clear to me how to do this.

Due the rewrite of Pages v5, about 100 features and functionality are missing from the prior release of Pages, the original that now resides in your /Applications/iWork '09 folder. My recommendation is to use the older, but more functional Pages ’09 v4.3.
If you want text to flow over a background image in Pages v5, do the following:
Immediately, your image is now in the background with yellow grips, and any existing text is above it. At any time, you can move or resize that image behind the text.
Still suggest you retreat to the older Pages though.
thanks! that works. I did have to go into the doc and make that page a separate section, or the image repeated on every page.
Note to Apple - it worked better when it was incredibly simple.
Will probs have to go back to the old version to finish this job.
Thanks again.
