I did the second one even before I emailed you and it tiles. It will not
stretch to cover the ful page. Doug Robbins said add a picture and resize it but then it would not be a background, just a very big picture. -- In His Service, Debra A.

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. -- In His Service, Debra A.

Stretching background to full page
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.

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. -- In His Service, Debra A. Snipes www.In-His-Service.org "Suzanne S.

Stretching background to full page
The problem of Stretch and Tile is because of Size and Resolution difference.
The Page measurement is in inches and the picture you are using is in Pixels. That is why, there is no 100% accuracy. If you are still not specified with both options, I told you about then you can do as said by "Suzanne". 1. Click Insert - Picture - From File. 2. Make it Stretch. 3. From the Picture Toolbar (if it appears automatically) click the Text Wrapping button and set it to Behind Text. 4. If there is no Picture Toolbar then double-click on picture and from Layout tab change the Text Wrapping to Behind Text. Hope this information helps you, let us know!

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. -- Suzanne S.

No, this is not true in Microsoft Word 2003. You can use Format - Background
- option for Print Layout too. What you have to do is, click Tools - Options - click Print tab and make a check mark on "Background Colors and Images". Hope this is what you were missing.
