Excel Background Image Formatting

[xlhelp]

This is probably a rhetorical question, but I thought I would ask anyway.

One of my students asked if there is a way to adjust the tiling in the background image that you can insert in a spreadsheet. ([blue]Pre 2007 - Format, Sheet, Background;[/blue] or [red]2007 - Page Layout, Background[/red])

I usually advise them to stay away from background since I cannot really see a useful purpose for it. But she says it makes her Excel look pretty.

The only solution I can think of is re-formatting the inserted picture (that is, size, tone, color saturation etc.) outside of Excel.

Any input will be appreciated.

Hi xlhelp,
In 2007, you can add a picture background in the Header Footer on the Insert tab, then use the Format Picture icon to change the height and width so it fills whatever space you want.

HTH,

Hi, Blue H,

Not quite what I was looking for. Thank you for your response. Truly appreciate it.
