When you choose Office Print Print Preview, does it look correct?

Using Background Pics in word 2007
I can confirm Oviyanda's description, but I can also say that I get
the same behavior in Word 2003, and I think I remember seeing it in Word 2002 as well. Print Preview shows the picture occupying the entire page. The printed page has many copies of the picture, about 1/2 inch square, tiled. The Print Layout view shows different sizes and numbers of tiles, depending on the zoom setting. My physical printer is a Canon S530D photo printer. I get the same tiny tile result if I print to PDF in Word 2007, while I get larger tiles (but still not the full page) if I print to SnagIt 8 from Word 2003. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Using Background Pics in word 2007
Yes it looks awesome on print preview but that is not how it prints. I even tried setting the printer preferences as if I was printing a photo but it still comes out the little tiles.

Using Background Pics in word 2007
I have an HP all in one printer.I just had a thought I have not tried yet.I
wonder if I saved it as a web page first and then tried to print.Do you think that might work?

Using Background Pics in word 2007
I can't replicate the problem you & Jay are seeing. There are several ways
to use a background picture. How are you doing it? When I use the Watermark feature (in the Page Layout ribbon), setting Scale: to Auto, I get a single image (regardless of the size of the image) when printing (to XPS, PDF, etc.). When I insert a picture into the header or footer (behind text) and set the color to washout, I also end up with a single image when printing. If I use the Page Color - Fill - Picture method to create the background, then I'm completely unable to control the picture, but I still have WYSIWYG -- what I see in Print Preview is still what I get when printing. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Oviyanda" wrote in message ...

Using Background Pics in word 2007
I get the tiling effect only when I use the Page Color - Fill -
Picture method; the other two methods do produce full-size prints. As I said, this isn't new, as I get the same results in Word 2003 with Format - Background - Fill Effects - Picture. -- Jay On Fri, 13 Jul 2007 07:53:39 -0400, "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: I can't replicate the problem you & Jay are seeing.
