Default add an image to the background of Word file

What you are describing is a watermark. In recent versions of WinWord you
can use the Format | Background | Printed Watermark. I suspect that MacWord
has something similar. If not, see "HOW TO: Create a Watermark in Word 97
and in Microsoft Word 2000" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211324, which describes general
principles you can follow. The basic idea is that a watermark is just an
image anchored to the header, sent Behind Text, and set to Washout (reduced
brightness).

How do I add a NON-MOVING image to a background of a Word 11.3.5 (Mac)
document--to work as stationery??? I've tried everything I can find in the
app, and the online support suggests options that are NOT available when I
follow their steps. I simply want to create a document that a client can
use
as stationery, where their logo and contact info is in the background and
doesn't move like an image, with the text.
