Insert Background Image In Excel 2010
If you need to place an image on spreadsheet as background then Excel 2010 provides an easiest way around to do it. Setting a complementary image background would add up higher comprehension level for the intended audience and can provide them with visual overview of the datasheet.
Open spreadsheet on which you want to insert image as background. Now navigate to Page Layout tab and click Background button.
On Sheet Background dialog, select the desired picture you want to insert as background and click Insert.
Now you will see the selected image set as background. Make the datasheet more prominent by changing font size, color, and cell borders etc.
For removing background image, you just need to click Delete Background.

7. navigate to where your picture is on your pc, select it.

Well, It looks like the quickest way is going to be print the image on a blank page and then print the table on that same page after feeding it back into the printer.
Very easy. The problem is PRINTING. I can’t find anywhere to select this background to print as part of the spreadsheet??

this didn’t work for me. when I choose the picture, it didn’t fit into the columns like above. It spread across my entire screen.
Thanks – I could not see how to do it when it was actually in my face. You showed me the way.
