background image in pages

[grandM]

Ok Guys

this will seem a really stupid question but I can't put a background image in pages. I've inserted the image. I go to Arrange on the right hand side. The buttons to put it to the background of foreground are GREYED OUT. I do not know why apple makes it so tough, but I definitely need some help here.

Greyed out like this?

If there is nothing else on the page, then they will be greyed out, as there is nothing that you can put it behind or in front of.
