Using layers, you can create the background setup you wish and lock it. I have an engineering template that has file name, revision date, label, and xy grid. It is locked in the background and works great.

Thanks for the reply. How do I create the "puzzle" look with the layers as shown in the drawing?

You can also use the free draw pencil to create enclosed shapes.
