Default create a fill-in form using a scanned-in semi-transparent overlay

I am using Excel 2003. I would like to be able to use a spreadsheet format
to fill in a preprinted form. In order to more easily position the fill-in
boxes accurately on the spreadsheet, it would be useful to be able to scan in
the preprinted form and have it displayed over the spreadsheet as a
semitransparent overlay sheet. That way columns and rows could be adjusted
to place the information to be printed on the form in a more precise manner.
Currently, this involves much trial and error and test printing. This could
save a lot of time and resources.
