background pictures

[Guest]

Is there a way to make a background only with one picture and printable?
I have inserted a backround picture but it tiles the picture I want to have
one picture and be able to print it off.

Maybe Ron de Bruin's watermark will help.

ok that showed me that it can be done but it doesnt help me a whole lot
because it doesnt show how he did that and i need to know how to do it not
just that it can be done but thanx if you could send me a discription of what
he did that would help me out a lot thanx

yes it showed me that it is possible but it didnt show me how to do it myself
so if you could send me a step by step on how to actually do that i would
greatly apperitiate it thanx

It looks like Ron used WordArt (an icon on the WordArt
commandbar--View|toolbars|Wordart) and made it 50% transparent.

But Ron also used a macro to add it to lots of pages.

If you look at the macro, you can see what he did.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
