Word 2003
I've included a picture from a file, and put it in the background.
Now, I can't select it. Even when I remove all the text, and it's the only
thing on the page. I can delete it, but dragging the curser from the top to
the bottom, but I can't select it, and then activate the Picture toolbar.

No offense, but please re-read your post & see if you truly believe someone
other than yourself would understand it - especially the last sentence.

Just as a guess, I'm assuming you used FormatBackgroundPrinted Watermark
to get the picture into your document. If so, the picture was inserted in
the Header/Footer layer of the document, not in the text layer. If you go to
ViewHeader and Footer you should be able to select the image without any
trouble.

Display the Drawing toolbar and click on the Select Objects tool. This will
allow you to select objects in the drawing layer even when they are Behind
Text.
