Prevent Background Image from Tiling in Print

Hi All,

Here's the situation. I am creating a magazine style document with background images that need to cover the entire page. My publisher file is formatted for 8.5" x 11". I insert a 8.5" x 11" JPG as the background (using "Format"->"Background"). In the design view, everything looks and formats perfectly. But, as soon as I attempt a print or go into "Print Preview", Publisher is doing some sort of tiling effect where the background image is being tiled on a very small portion of the right and bottom side of each page. I've attached a PDF so you can see what I'm talking about.

Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? Thanks!
 
My first thought is that the photo isn't really 8½ x 11. Have you tried just inserting the photo the same way you insert any other photo? What happens then?
