Default background pictures

Is there a way to make a background only with one picture and printable?
I have inserted a backround picture but it tiles the picture I want to have
one picture and be able to print it off.

Maybe Ron de Bruin's watermark will help.

It looks like Ron used WordArt (an icon on the WordArt
commandbar--View|toolbars|Wordart) and made it 50% transparent.

But Ron also used a macro to add it to lots of pages.

If you look at the macro, you can see what he did.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
