Background won't print

[KimC]

I have a tiled picture as a background for my Word 2007 document. However,
when I print the page, I only see one tile of the picture in the center of
the page. I set the Options to "Print background colors and pictures", but
then I get a solid color background with one tile of the picture in the
center of the page. Please help. I just want my document to print just like
it looks in Print Preview. Thanks in advance.

Can you reproduce the problem in another document?

The original picture was very small (1/4 inch) and when tiled as a background
produced what looked like a solid color background. I tried it with a larger
picture and realized that what Word was actually doing was shrinking the
picture by a factor of 10 when printing. The confusion exists because the
Print Preview looks nothing like the printout. I am going to try enlarging
the first picture. Thanks for the suggestion to try a different
document-that led to the solution.
