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...

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.
