I am having a problem figuring out how to place a watermarked logo behind a page of text. The text is all in column A, large blocks that wrap for several lines (it is a multi article mission statement). I have the same document in word with the logo at about 25% black behind 100% black text.

I assumed I could send the picture to the back, but layering seems to work only with multiple pictures, which all appear on top of the text in my cells.

Any ideas?

Thanks... I am sure glad it is Friday!

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).

You can't do this "watermarked logo behind a page of text"

But as a work around just convert your cells
text to an Image;

Select cells > press & Hold Shift > Select Edit and the > Copy Picture
Then just Paste as picture and Use the Pictures properties to get what you want.

My advice would be to use MS Word - you can set a picture to be behind text through RMB>Format Picture>Layout (and yes, you can do the watermark effect in Word :) ). If you want to have Excel-like cells for text then you could just insert a table (which will also appear above the picture)

Also, check out your printer settings via the start menu (start / settings / printers): mine has an option for including a watermark whilst printing
