Option #2

Select your element that you'd like to tag as a background/artifact and choose "Background/Artifact" from the reading order dialog box.

Note: This is simply an example of selecting an element (logo in this case) and tagging it as a background image. It does not mean that it is mandatory to tag your logo as an artifact or background image.
