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?

First of all:

1. Click Tools - Options - click Print tab.
2. Here make a check mark on Background Colors and Images.

Now, Here are 2 options for you to put a background. First decide that what

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Right-click on the picture and select Properties. Now SEND IT BEHIND the

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. Let us know!
