Custom backgrounds
You can also use one of your own photos or texture images as a
background: choose the “Photos” section in the Contents panel and
drag your photo or texture image to the background to apply it.
Alternatively, drag in an image from the Finder, or copy and paste a
image to set your background.
Applying a background to a text area
You can also choose a background texture or background color for the text
areas in your design.
Choosing a background for all text areas
Switch to background mode by clicking the paint roller icon in the bottom
left corner of your design. Apply a background to the middle area to apply it
to all of the text areas in your design.
Choosing a background for a single text area
Choose a layout block area and click the background paint roller icon for
that layout block. Now you can choose to apply (or remove) a background
for just that text area.
Applying a background to a text column
Some text areas can be assigned a separate back-
ground. This can be used to create sidebars
with links or other at-a-glance information.
Text areas that support backgrounds are highlighted in orange in the Con-
tents panel.
Applying a background to an image area
You can also change the backgrounds of image areas individually. Select an
image area and click the paint roller icon to switch to background mode.
Then drag a background texture or color into the image area to apply it.
