The image is inserted into the document as usual. You can do this at any time while making the document but, at first, it’s easier to set the image background before anything else. Insert | Picture and select the image you want to use. To make a flexible Word page background, insert an image into a document then ‘Send to Back’ so it’s a back layer for text and other document content to show in front.
Images and shapes can be layered so one image overlays another.
#MICROSOFT WORD INSERT IMAGE SIZE PLUS#
With an image on the ‘back’ sheet and text on another sheet combined you get a document with an image plus text overlaid. When the sheets are put on top of each other you see the finished document. Each sheet contains images or text that you can adjust without changing things on other sheets.
#MICROSOFT WORD INSERT IMAGE SIZE SERIES#
Think of layers as like a series of clear plastic sheets on top of each other. They aren’t as complex or powerful as layers in image programs like Photoshop but Word has layers all the same. In short: Insert a picture into a Word document and send it to the back of the document layers. The solution is to forget about Word’s Page Background feature and use another method that gives you more control. Note that the ‘sample’ in the Insert Picture dialog above bears no relation to what happens in the document, Unless the picture is exactly the same size as the page, it’ll probably look wrong. There’s no provision to resize or reposition the page background image within Word. If the image is too small for the page, the image is repeated. What you see on the Word page is the top left corner of the image. It’s mostly used for a small repeating pattern image like this: Thanks for all your help so far on the forum, Brians blog and talking to you at TechEd last year in Orlando was a tremndous help to get started in the right direction.
This causes it to be cut off if it does not fit inside the cell. Then we’ll show you the way that actually works 😊 The Approved Methodįor a long time, Microsoft Word has the ability to put in a picture as the background to a page. Your example inserts the image in its original size. The advantage of a background image in a Word document is that, once setup and locked ‘behind text’, the image won’t conflict with any text, shape or images you put in the document.įirstly we’ll show you the Microsoft approved method for putting an image in the page background and why it’s not very useful. But there are times in more creative work where you want the page fully or partly backgrounded. Most of the time a page background image is distracting to the main document text or you can use the Watermark feature. We’ll show you other Word features that work better (or at all). Using a picture as the background for Word page isn’t as straight forward because the official or approved method doesn’t work very well. Add a background image to any page in a Word document instead of a solid color or pattern.
