Can't insert backgrounds

[Nightripper]

When I'm finished with a particular project I'm designing
I would like to add a nice background. When I choose it
and click "OK" the words on my document get moved around.
After straightening them out I click "print preview" to
see what it will look like but no background shows. When I
print a test page, it comes out text only. What could I be
doing wrong?

"Background" is for Web pages. To add a background to a printed page, you
have to use a "watermark." See Word's Help under "Create a watermark" for
instructions.
