How do I create a 2 page word document with 2 different background

[Lisa]

Working in Word 2003, I am attempting to layout a 2 page document for work
and want to place a background image. The only issue is I would like the
first page of the document has one background, and the second page to have a
different background. But when I go into the menu option to place a
background it will only allow me to select one background per document and
that background appears on all pages. Is there a way to have a 2 page
document, each page having a different background?

Use a section break between the two pages (insert - break - next page... if
there's already a page break, you'll probably need to delete it to prevent
an extra blank page). Choose View - Header and Footer, and make sure Link to
Previous is turned off in section 2 (in the Header/Footer toolbar).

In the first section's header, use Insert - Picture to insert an image into
the header. Use the sizing controls to make it large enough to cover the
desired area. Double-click the picture and in the Picture tab, set the Image
Control Color: to Washout (assuming you want the background pictures to be
subtle... you can use the Brightness/Contrast controls to choose the desired
intensity). In the Layout tab, set Wrapping style to Behind text.

In the second section's header... do the same thing.

Or, without a section break, choose "Different odd and even" on the Layout
tab of Page Setup and add one background (watermark) to the Odd Page Header
and a different one to the Even Page Header.
