I am setting up the interior pages of a children's poetry book in the iWork '09 version of Pages. I've been working on this for a couple months as I wait for the illustrations to trickle in, and I've been able to accomplish what I need to, so far, by setting up the text of each poem, dragging the illustration into the document, de-selecting "object causes wrap", selecting "background images are selectable" and selecting "background" rather than inline or floating. (all in inspector's "wrap" tab)
Then, I would resize and position the line art image where I want it, and move on.

Today, I can't accomplish that same thing. After page 80 or so in the document, when I follow that same procedure, it is as if there is a text box with an opaque setting blocking the background image anywhere there is text. (For instance, there is a thin strip of visible image between the footer and the main text body.

I have no idea how these pages are different than the earlier ones. Apparently I've done something to cause them to have different attributes, but it wasn't intentional and I don't know what it was I did. (I set all of the text up at the same time, a while back...there is no reason I can think of that it would be different.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can look for to solve this issue?

Thanks.
