Ok. In excel 2003 I could adjust the layout of a picture and have it "behind
text", in excel 2007 there is not that option for pictures, for drawing
objects you can do it but not for pictures, so how can I insert a picture
into an excel file and have it print out behind the text?

this question is specific to Excel 2007

also setting the image as a watermark is a waste of time for what I need.

really glad I have not "upgraded" my home machine to office 2007

How do you do this Excel 2003?

What is the format type of the picture you have behind text?

from memory - in excel 2003 I select the picture, right mouse click - format
picture - go to the tab "layout" and select "in behind text"

I'll double check on my machine at home but pretty sure that is the way I
used to do it.

What type of picture?

jpg, bmp, gif or ??

I am not familiar with tab "layout" and "in behind text"

I am not disputing your claim, I am trying to find out what I am possibly
missing.
