Default How Do I Place a Picture Behind Cells

I would like to place a picture in behind a certain group of cells. However
I cannot seem to move pictures back any further then other pictures in the
worksheet. I cannot seem to find this topic in the Excel Help Query. Does
anyone know how to do this?

Default How Do I Place a Picture Behind Cells

Jon,

Excel doesn't put a picture behind the cells. All graphics go on top of the
cells.

There's a background feature, Format - Sheet - Background. It tiles the
picture in back of the cells (starts in the upper left corner and repeats
down and across. It's actual size, meaning pixel-for-pixel, so it doesn't
zoom up or down. It doesn't print.

You can cheat, by reversing the procedure and pasteing a group of cells over
a picture..........select the cells, then do Copy Ctrl-Chift-Edit
PastePictureLink, and then dragging the "picture of the cells" over on top of
the picture.........values typed in the original cells will link over to
appear on top of the picture.........
