Images in Excel 2000

[Guest]

I'd like to import an 8 1/2" x 11" jpg image into an exel 2000 spreadsheet
and be able to enter data into the cells and still see the image underneath.
Is this possible and how do I do it.

This would be impossible or nearly so using Microsoft Excel. You could do it
with Word.

However, I think it's crazy to try it under any circumstances.

In Excel, I inserted the image and then hit the Set Transparent Color.
If you tab through the cells from outside the image, you can type over
the image but of course the Set Transparent Color changes my original
image color.

What is the best way to create a dummy statement using a scanned image
that I can then type my data and color print?

Skip the scanned image and create a form. By the time you spend all your
time trying to get a scanned image in, you could create the form. Use Excel
or use Word.

You could try: format / sheet / background.... It won't print, but it will display the way you
want.

Thank you both for your tips. Not sure which way I'll go.

Welllllll, not exactly. A sheet background image is put on the screen
actual size (pixel for pixel), tiled from the upper left corner. You can't
move it around. Changing zoom doesn't change the size. Changing the screen
resolution does, I think.
