format photo for background in FP2002

How do I format a photo for the page background, so that the entire photo is
the background and it is not tiled?

TIA

You make it big enough not to tile. Of course, with a photo, this could
cause the download time for the page to be quite long.

Or - you make it an acceptably small size and prevent tiling with CSS.

body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }

You can even position it with CSS -

body { background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; }

I am showing the style rule itself. This can be added to your page in three
ways -

1. You can add it to the head of the page in an embedded stylesheet, e.g.,

<head>
....
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; }
-->
</style>

2. It can be part of an externally linked stylesheet, e.g.,

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="foo.css">

3. It can be an inline style on the body tag, e.g.,

<body style="background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center;" ...>

FP offers you the way to do #1 and #2 via the user interface, but you would
have to do #3 manually in code view.

However, that won't fill up the page.

Soitenly not. Nothing will. Cause you ain't got a clue how big MY page is.
You can guess by making your image gargantuan, but think of those poor folks
with cellphones downloading your 4MB background image. It brings tears to
my eyes....
