Show grid in front of picture

[need excel recovery help]

I'm creating a family tree using Excel and wuold like to have a washed out
old pic as the background. In order to do this, I need all the grid lines to
show on top of this picture.

How do I put a picture behind everything including grid lines?

Thanks,
Rafy

Check out Excel help for both "Background" and "watermark".

Background is under Format | Sheet. You may want to set the print area on
the worksheet since the background will show up multiple times.

I tried this and it doesn't work. I set the print area and get 4 logos
instead of one

Excel isn't real good at this kind of thing. It's tiling the picture to fill
the page.

Try setting it up as a watermark - at least in that setup you can adjust the
size of the picture and it only appears once per sheet.

More detail: with the watermark method, you adjust the picture size and such
while in the Header creator/editor.

You'll probably have to add borders to your cells to get them to show on top
of the photo.

Again, good luck.
