Unlike HC, Rev doesn't use the background concept. So, to do what you want:

1.  Create a New Mainstack
2. Drag a scrollable (or non-scrollable) field from the Tools palette onto the stack. It only has one card at this time.
3.  Select that field
4.  Click on the Group Button in the Tool Bar
5. If you don't see the Object Inspector for that field double click on the field using the Edit Pointer Tool 6. Set the check-box for "Behave like a Background" - at the bottom of the Object Inspector Window.

You now have a field that will appear on all of the new cards that you create. If you want it to share text, you'll have to set that property as well; otherwise each card can have unique text.

Maybe I'm kind of dense, but saying "page layout" just doesn't tell me much. Sorry for being so insistent; maybe if I knew the objective of your program it might. Perhaps you've mentioned that earlier and I just missed picking up on it.

Can one of you give simple steps for making a background field that is still there when you make a new card, and also suggest ways to spread text across that background field, over many cards. For the sake of argument, suppose that there is a few megabytes of text to show, and that might be sluggish in a single scrolling field.
