Putting a picture behind text in Excel 2007
Ok. In excel 2003 I could adjust the layout of a picture and have it "behind
text", in excel 2007 there is not that option for pictures, for drawing objects you can do it but not for pictures, so how can I insert a picture into an excel file and have it print out behind the text? this question is specific to Excel 2007 also setting the image as a watermark is a waste of time for what I need. really glad I have not "upgraded" my home machine to office 2007 |

Putting a picture behind text in Excel 2007
What type of picture?
jpg, bmp, gif or ?? I am not familiar with tab "layout" and "in behind text" I am not disputing your claim, I am trying to find out what I am possibly missing.
