Controlling background images

[AJ]

I'm trying to place an image as a background. However, it's not showing up at
the proper size or in the proper place. I even tried creating the image at a
full page size, but it's still not showing up the way I want. Is there some
way to control the way background images display?

Have you set text wrapping (little dog icon) to 'behind text'? Are you using
a drawing canvas - if so try it without by turning off the automatic creation
of one when specifying an autoshape.

Lastly, unless you are very fortunate, your printer will not print right to
the edges of your paper so you have to be mindful of this with your
background design

Hope this helps

With Format>Background, you can't set image criteria like wrapping. Or if you
can, I'm not sure how you get to the settings. I'm setting up a template, and
there is an image I need on every page of the document, no matter how many
pages the user chooses to add. I don't want to use headers and footers
because I don't want the image to be shaded.

AJ:
I'm having the same problem. Have you found a solution yet? I'm bringing a
jpg into Word 2003 and it's too big and cuts off on the right side.
