Short question:Background picture in excel
 

hi there, hope this is the right place...

Everytime i add a picture as a background to my spreadsheet it makes m
filesize balloon. Althought my spreadsheet is only about 2 pages lon
(about 270k) when I add a background picture it gets tiled and seems t
fill up every single cell, therefore causing my file to become abou
11MB big.

Is there a way to just have a background for a certain number of cell
so that I can eliminate loading time and file size?

thanks in advance,

F

In Excel 2000 - the Picture Toolbar has a button for transparent color.
Just do a regular insert picture...
Open the Picture Toolbar.
Select the button and play with it... You might like what you find...
