Format the picture as Behind Text. If you have Word 2002 or above, you
could have used Format | Background | Printed Watermark to insert the
picture; for earlier versions, see

I have a pciture that I would like to set as the backdrop for an invitation
and be able to type the text of the invitation over top of the picture.
I
have inserted the picture into the Word document, but cannot figure out
how
to set the pciture as the background. I have tried using the Format-
Background commands but that does not work. I have tried just dragging
the
picture to fill the document but I still have margins and cannot get the
pciture to be centered. I know there is a better way to do this because
someone has helped me do so before, but I just don't rememeber. Hoping
someone can help me out.
