Mac OS X: Pages: How to use an image in the background

Why is this function so hard to find and define.

Choose Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Section Master (from the Arrange menu at the top of your computer screen).

This information can be found in the online help.

Place objects in the background

You can add text, watermarks, logos, or other images that appear in the same place in the background of every page of your document. These repeated elements are called master objects.
If your document is divided into sections, you can add different master objects to each section.

Add a master object

  1. Add an object, text, or image to any page in the section, then drag it where you want it to appear on each page.
    To add an image, click Media first.
  2. With the object still selected, use the Opacity slider in the Style pane of the Format inspector to change the object’s transparency.
    The more transparent you make the object, the more it fades into the background behind the document content.
  3. Choose Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Section Master (from the Arrange menu at the top of your computer screen).
    The object is moved to the background of every page in the section.
Master objects are locked (made unselectable), by default.

Wireshark: DNS: dns.time misleading

From a windows machine with 2 DNS servers configured via DHCP:

packet 1: 44.667  to DNS1
packet 2: 45.667  to DNS1
packet 3: 45.667  to DNS2
packet 4: 46.009 response from DNS1

all of the 3 packets, i.e. DNS Queries share the same ID (should this be?)

Wireshark calculates the time difference (dns.time) between packet 2 and 4 and not between 1 and 4!

So when you create a graph, the time difference looks ok, i.e. some 300 ms but actually it was 1300 ms.

Windows per default will resend DNS queries to all configured DNS servers after 1 second! That is packet 2 and 3.


  • Why is the ID the same? Is this a must or a bug?
  • What can I do to get the real time difference?


This is where I got the info on how to graph dns.time:

I use dns.time AVG(*) dns.time and Dot.
