Hi Rafy,
To put a picture behind everything including grid lines in Excel, you can follow these steps:

Check out Excel help for both "Background" and "watermark".
Background is under Format | Sheet. You may want to set the print area on the worksheet since the background will show up multiple times.

I tried this and it doesn't work. I set the print area and get 4 logos

Excel isn't real good at this kind of thing. It's tiling the picture to fill
the page. Try setting it up as a watermark - at least in that setup you can adjust the size of the picture and it only appears once per sheet. "markmcd" wrote: I tried this and it doesn't work.

More detail: with the watermark method, you adjust the picture size and such
while in the Header creator/editor. You'll probably have to add borders to your cells to get them to show on top of the photo. Again, good luck. "markmcd" wrote: I tried this and it doesn't work.
