Hello,

I am trying to use a jpg image as a background in a word 2010 document. I have tried various methods for doing this -

1. Page Layout > Page Color > Fill Effects > Picture and insert the image that way. When I do this, the picture is way too large for the page - it spills off and doesn't resize. I can resize the image, but I would need to know what size the image should be.

2. Adding a watermark and putting the image in. This appears to work, but when I print, there is a border showing around the page - it appears that margin settings or something like that are taking precedence over the watermark. If I was able to remove that border, this approach would be perfect.

I have tried other approaches as well, but these two seem to be the best solution from what I've seen.

Does anyone know how to get one of these approaches working or can someone suggest a different method?

Thanks for any thoughts.
