backgrounds

The problem is this..
I want to use a .jpg background in a spreadsheet. OK no problem but for the fact that Xcel uses by default the WHOLE sheet.
So a file of 300Kb becomes 3Mb.
The background should fit into the print area.....at least that is my idea and goal...

Help if you can Melvin

soory what are you trying to do?

save file space when you inset a background?

If so rem that its tiled picture and so will become large in size find a small size jpg file as back ground or larger are small files size best
