MacMost Now 659: Creating Watermarks In iWork Pages

You could just do the same thing -- place a large piece of text behind everything else. Just do it to the master slides instead of each individual slide.

Thank you Gary, I often write up drafts for my job. By learning how to mark a Pages document as a draft, others can tell it is not the final version.
Thank-you.

I'm having a problem with this. I am making a menu for Spanish Class and want to make it look like its old used paper, but it does not let me make it a watermark.
That wouldn't be a watermark, but just a background. You'd need to find a full-page graphic of "old used paper" and put that in a box and place that behind everything else.

On the last part, you showed the way to inserting watermark on every page using the command
Format : Advance : Move Object to Section Master.
That was shown in a situation where you have 1-section document.
Kindly advise on the easiest way to inserting same watermark at same position on all pages if they contain multiple sections.

KRgds.
Off the top of my head, not sure. Play around with it and report back if you find a solution.
