Question about using a picture as a background
Hi all, just a quick question.
I have a picture that I want to use as a background for some Word documents (currently using Office 2010). Essentially, the company is sending out some holiday themed emails, and they have a graphic that they want to put in the background for all of these emails. I'm having trouble with a few things: 1) How to I make the picture fit the entire page without messing with the margins? 2) Once I do this, how to I make it so you can type normally over the picture? Basically, they are making holiday themed stationery and we're having quite a time figuring it out. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Decado Edited to add: I'm pretty sure I just set the picture as a watermark, but how do you do it? |

Yes, it is a watermark. Here is how:
- Select the "Page Layout" ribbon at the top of your screen - Click on "Watermark" and from the drop down menu select "Custom Watermark" at the bottom of the menu - Click on "Picture", then "Select Picture" from where your picture is lcoated - the "Insert". Adjust the scale of the picture to the size you need for your document and, if necessary, check the "Washout" block (gives a lighter appearance). Of course, you may have to play around with it to get the appeal you are looking for. Hope this helps. |
