When the sheets are put on top of each other you see the finished document. Each sheet contains images or text that you can adjust without changing things on other sheets. Think of layers as like a series of clear plastic sheets on top of each other. They aren’t as complex or powerful as layers in image programs like Photoshop but Word has layers all the same. In short: Insert a picture into a Word document and send it to the back of the document layers. The solution is to forget about Word’s Page Background feature and use another method that gives you more control. Note that the ‘sample’ in the Insert Picture dialog above bears no relation to what happens in the document,
Unless the picture is exactly the same size as the page, it’ll probably look wrong. There’s no provision to resize or reposition the page background image within Word. If the image is too small for the page, the image is repeated. What you see on the Word page is the top left corner of the image. It’s mostly used for a small repeating pattern image like this: Then we’ll show you the way that actually works 😊 The Approved Methodįor a long time, Microsoft Word has the ability to put in a picture as the background to a page. The advantage of a background image in a Word document is that, once setup and locked ‘behind text’, the image won’t conflict with any text, shape or images you put in the document.įirstly we’ll show you the Microsoft approved method for putting an image in the page background and why it’s not very useful. But there are times in more creative work where you want the page fully or partly backgrounded. Most of the time a page background image is distracting to the main document text or you can use the Watermark feature. We’ll show you other Word features that work better (or at all). Using a picture as the background for Word page isn’t as straight forward because the official or approved method doesn’t work very well. Add a background image to any page in a Word document instead of a solid color or pattern.
