Word document background print: I get a tile effect I dont want
I use Word 2003. I am preparing a word document that contains text but with a
background photograph. After hours of trying I was able to size the background photograph such that it fits the 8.5 x 11 inch page exactly by using a crop ratio of 1.29 (height/width) for the photo and at a pixel count to match my monitor (96 dpi). The page looks great in the editing window and also in preview. However, when I print it there are 36 images (tiles) in the background instead of one. I talked to Canon about the printer; I chatted with a print shop and everyone I know; I tried to call Microsoft but they wanted to charge me $40.00. I have no solution so far. I am amazed that no one has run into this before as it is a problem that is bound to happen. It may be that the background is meant more for web pages as some of the "help" indicated but surely there must be a way to print it as a word document also. I think that altering the resolution of the printer to 96 dpi may work but it is almost imposible to do that with the company printer. |

When inserting the watermark, clear the "Washout" option in the Printed
Watermark dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Yvonne" wrote in message ... Hi I was having the exactly the same problem in regard to the size and titling when you insert a picture as a background. Your suggestion of using a watermark has solved the sizing problem, however the reason I wanted to use the picture as a background is because I need it to display in full colour. Any suggestions?

I have done that and it doesn't make that much difference.
Any other ideas? "Stefan Blom" wrote: When inserting the watermark, clear the "Washout" option in the Printed Watermark dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Yvonne" wrote in message ...

You could try adjusting the Contrast as well as the Brightness of the
picture, and see if that helps. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Yvonne" wrote in message ... I have done that and it doesn't make that much difference. Any other ideas?
