background picture behind header/footer

[Vincent van Straalen]

Hi all,

I want to have a picture as background that covers the full page from top to
bottom. The problem is that it always goes over the header and footer so
that they aren't visible anymore.
Does anyone know how to get the picture behind them?

Hi Vincent, by the description of your problem I assume that the picture has
been placed on the surface of your "paper". Please confirm this. Tell us if
you inserted in the header/footer area. i.e. View, Header/Footer, hide text
button, insert picture from file, etc.

Ah, by your reactions I see the problem. I didn't insert the picture in the
header/footer area, but in the normal text. The watermark solution works to.

Only now there is a new problem: I like to have three different backgrounds
that change every page. If I put the picture in the header/footer area then
it is the same on every page unless I create a new section on every page.
This is a lot of work. Is there another solution for this? Or some way to do
this:
Section 1
Section 2
Section 3
Section 4 = Section 1
Section 5 = Section 2
Section 6 = Section 3
Section 7 = Section 1
etc.

Thanks for all the help.

To my knowledge, sections is the only way to attack the problem. Don't
forget to de activate the "Same as previous" button.
