Whan I insert a background using Word 2000 in my XP Home Edition system, it
neither appears in Print Preview nor does it appear in the printed page. I
have tried using a picture (.gif) chosen from file, and a texture supplied as
part of Word. I have the same problem when I try using a watermark.

I would appreciate any direct help and also a reference where I can learn
the insertion and placement routines fully.

TIA. Al C
