Hi,
Need some help with printing of background images. I have set up a
transparent image using format / backgrounds / fill effects / pictures. Chose
a perfectly sized picture and all looks good in the document. Go to print
preview and it looks just like the doc. Now the problem comes in when I
print, the background image is reduced ten fold and repeated about the same
amount. Any help would be appreciated.

Using Office Word 2003 SP2

Thanks, Billy
