5.6 Reference objects and templates

A reference object stores nothing more than the name of a template. This name is looked up in the document's style to retrieve an object (a template) to be displayed. The reference can be moved, rotated, and stretched, but that's it--to modify it in any other way, the original template in the style sheet has to be modified.

If a template named "Background" exists in your style sheet, it is automatically display on each page, at the very back. To suppress the automatic display, create a layer named "Background" on the page, and set it to be invisible.
