Put text on top of an image?

The easiest way is to do it in a graphics program. Otherwise you need to
use CSS and positioning (Layers) to achieve the effect
 
For the whole page choose Format, Background and select the image. For a
table or cell, right click on them and choose Table or Cell Properties then
click Use Background Picture
 
Using a picture as a background seems to replicate the picture to fill the
whole page.
Is there anyway to put text over a single image on a page?

Use a table cell set to the same width as the picture and make the picture
the background
 
Try this:

1. insert a text box.
2. go to properties of the box and set the background color to none and the
line to none.
3. go to the top bar and insert a picture.
4. right click on the text frame, click on "order" and then "send to back".
5. now you can move the text frame around to the location under the text you
want over it.

note: you get a better effect if you edit the picture and either set it as
transparent or you adjust the contrast to make the image look like a water
mark.
