Trying to use the box model for a site I’m developing. Besides a few glitches here and there I am getting the hang of it I think. However, I can’t seem to make one design element work – that is, I want to place a graphic behind some text and have that graphic’s opacity lightened (maybe using the Fade action). In any case, I can’t figure out how to get the graphic behind the text.
I used the 3 row, 2 column layout. In the right column, I inserted a graphic and html box. Graphic contains an image and the html box hold text and sits just below the image. What I want is the graphic to sit behind (in back of) the html text box. Every time I try to send it backwards it goes completely behind the container.

Set it as a background image. Select your html box and go to the Inspector Palette. Select the Appearance settings icon and right below the Color option is the Image option. The default is None but you can select an image and then set the tiling preferences for your image background. Hope this is what you’re looking for
Cheers

Thanks Marcel
That does allow me to pu the image behind the text box – but not fully what I want. It puts the image behind my text, but then I have no control over its placement and appearance (I want to be able to soften its appearance and adjust size and position).

You can also try and size it and tweak your effect in Photoshop to match your html box

I’m not sure if this is an official way, but have you tried creating
the graphic and text on the art board and grouping it, first, and then
nesting it within the box model layout?

Haven’t tried that. I’ll give it a shot and let you know if it works.
