As you say, images are above the cell. Sheet backgrounds don't print.

Perhaps put the image in the sheet background, then select the range and do
a copy as picture (hold the shift key down when you do edit=copy as
picture). then paste on another worksheet and print that.

I am trying to work with text and pictures in cell. I realize Excel puts
the
image on a top "layer", however, I have read several workarounds. these
don;t seem to be working for me....
These included using Control ... Image and embedding an image. This does
embed, but I don't see the text. Again, it appears that the image is above
the data. Te other method was using Comments.

What I want to do is to have an image that "appears" to be behind the cell
data. I would like to also print this in this format.


Help please. I have Excel 2002 on Win XP
