Background picture

[Keith]

I have a picture I want to use as a background to all the pages in a
document. I tried to create a template with one page with the image on it but
this didn't work. I can type over the image without a problem, but as soon as
I go onto a second page the image jumps to the new page.

How can I get round this? I don't want the picture to be a watermaks as it's
colour and I want it to stay that way. Any ideas?

A watermark is merely a graphic (usually paler than normal - but it doesn't
have to be so) with its layout property set to 'behind text' in the document
header view, so this is exactly what you require.

I want to create a word doc w/ a logo at the top, text on two pages. I want
the logo & text to be a background type image where I can write over the top.
i.e. contracts. I cannot seem to get this accomplished, can you help?

What you're looking for is a "watermark." If you have Word 2002 or above,
use Format | Background | Printed Watermark and choose the desired graphic.
For earlier versions, see “HOW TO: Create a Watermark in Word 97 and in
Microsoft Word 2000†at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211324
