When inserting the watermark, clear the "Washout" option in the Printed

Hi
I was having the exactly the same problem in regard to the size and
titling
when you insert a picture as a background. Your suggestion of using a
watermark has solved the sizing problem, however the reason I wanted to
use
the picture as a background is because I need it to display in full
colour.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I use Word 2003. I am preparing a word document that contains text but
with
a
background photograph. After hours of trying I was able to size the
background photograph such that it fits the 8.5 x 11 inch page exactly
by
using a crop ratio of 1.29 (height/width) for the photo and at a pixel
count
to match my monitor (96 dpi). The page looks great in the editing
window
and
also in preview. However, when I print it there are 36 images (tiles)
in
the
background instead of one. I talked to Canon about the printer; I
chatted
with a print shop and everyone I know; I tried to call Microsoft but
they
wanted to charge me $40.00. I have no solution so far. I am amazed that
no
one has run into this before as it is a problem that is bound to
happen.
It
may be that the background is meant more for web pages as some of the
"help"
indicated but surely there must be a way to print it as a word document
also.
I think that altering the resolution of the printer to 96 dpi may work
but
it
is almost imposible to do that with the company printer.
