How Can you insert a background image in a 2007 MS Word file and having it totally displayed in a printout?

Answer 1

The watermark commands are available only in normal, print layout, and outline views.

1. On the Format menu, point to Background, and then click Printed Watermark.
2. Do one of the following:

   • To insert a picture as a watermark (watermark: Any graphic or text, such as "Confidential," that when printed appears either on top of or behind existing document text.), click Picture Watermark, and then click Select Picture. Select the picture you want, and then click Insert.

   • To insert a text watermark, click Text Watermark, and then select or enter the text that you want.

3. Select any additional options that you want, and then click Apply.
4. To view a watermark as it will appear on the printed page, use print layout view (Print Layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.).
