Greg,

About the only way that comes to mind is to make a larger image file to use
as your background picture. It would have the image where you want it, and
be plain white for the rest. Keep in mind that a background picture doesn't
change size as you zoom. So it won't stay in relation to the cells. Also,
it does not print.

I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet where a have a picture (background)
within
the spreadsheet, but then I want to be able to type over the picture. I
know
you can set the whole page background to a picture, but I don't want the
whole page to have the background, just one area of the spreadsheet.

How can this be accomplished?
