How do I take an image and set it as the background of a Pages file? For instance, I want to add an image that is a texture and use it as the background----any help would be really appreciated!
*It seems like this was easier on earlier versions of Pages per older threads on the topic.

Hello koriwj,
What you are tying to do is typically called a watermark. This is where you will have an image at the back of the page, and be able to have type or other images on top of the image. Also, if you add more pages, the image repeats.
You can get more details on how to mange multiple images in a multiple page document using Section Breaks. From the menu bar, choose Help > Pages Help > search for Watermark.
Here is a sample of what I did.
To insert an image as a watermark.
Click on Insert from the menu bar, and click on Choose
Navigate to the location of your image, click on the image, then click on Insert
You may want to modify the image but adjusting the increasing the exposure, and reducing the saturation. That's what I did for the Blackhawks Charities logo.
Once you have the image managed and located where you would like it, click on Arrange from the menu bar, then click on Move Object to Section Master.
That should do the trick.
I hope this helps you out.

SoftwareAddict1462, thanks so much, that worked perfectly!
Thanks for the feedback. Good to know it worked out for you. My apologies for the misspelling and typing mix ups. I need to learn to slow down and review.
