To get the map image to show up behind things, you'll need to place it into
the header of the sheet, mimicing a watermark. See the Excel Help topic on
"mimic a watermark in Excel" or search for 'simulate watermark' for specific
instructions on how to do it.

i am constructing a 'treasure map' using excel. i have placed my image of
the map into a spreadsheet. i would like to bring the gridlines to the front
thus splitting the map into sellable sectors. placing the image as a
background to the sheet does not work as it is only for display purposes; it
does not print off.

any ideas to solve my issue are greatly appreciated.

thanks...
