Re: background image

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

"Backgrounds" are intended for Web pages. What you want is a "watermark."
Use Format | Background | Printed Watermark to insert your image, and it
will repeat on every page *and* print to PDF.

The question is 2 fold if that is ok. Question 2 came out of trying to
solve
question 1.
Queestion1 - I am making a multi page document and I have put a background
image in Word2003. When the text flows onto the next page the background
image automatically appears also on the subsequent pages. This is what I
want
to happen. When I save it as a PDF though the background image doesn't
save.
I read somewhere to go to "page settings" and tick the print background
image
option. When I did this the background image shrunk and duplicated
multiple
times and the files size was massive. What am I doing wrong?

Queestion2. What I did then was insert the image I was using as the
background into the word doc so it was placed behind the text, so in
theory a
background image. But when the text overflows onto the next page the image
doesn't automatically appear there. Can I make? Can I set it up as a
template
or style so all the pages automatically have the same image attached
behind
the text?

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Rick
