Default Background Picture OR text over a picture

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?

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.
