I am telling you that if you are using Format | Background, it is applicable
only to Web pages. If your definition of a "background" is an image behind
the text, then just use Insert | Picture, size the picture as needed, and
format it as Behind Text.

I am trying to make another cover for a book I wrote. I used this the last
time I wrote a book. I do not need a watermark and there are other reasons
for using a background than for a website.

Unless you are creating a Web page, you don't want a background but
instead
a "Printed Watermark," which is just a graphic anchored to the header.
You
can insert this using the Format | Background | Printed Watermark dialog
in
Word 2002/2003, but once you've used that shortcut for inserting it, you
can
manipulate it just like any other graphic anchored to the header. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm.

Then it will not be a background. Just a very large picture. You are
suppose
to click Format-Background-Fill Effects-Picture Tab. Then insert your
background. However, it is tiling and not covering the full page. It
use
to
cover the full page.

I am sorry I do not know what to put this under but I am trying to
find
out
how to place a picture that is not html as a background without it
tiling.
How do I make it stretch to full page? If I am under the wrong
catergory
where should I put it?
