I pasted a scan picture onto my spreadsheet. Send it to the back and made it
transparent. I want to be able to type on the cells over the picture in
order to fill it out. As If it were a document. But everytime I click on
one of the cells, the picture is chosen instead. Any ideas?

hi,
images float on top of the sheet as an independent object. they cannot be
assigned to cells. your best bet is to edit the image in paint or similar.
sorry.

Hi David,

Instead of pasting the picture into the spreadsheet, try choosing
FormatSheetBackground and load the picture that way.

You can put Text Boxes on top of the picture and write in them, and then
format them to be transparent and have no outside lines if you
wish..........
