How To Insert Picture In Word Background

How to Add together a Background to a Unmarried Page in Word.

Whether you just want to create a cover folio or take i page with a background while all other pages are blank this tutorial will show you how. Microsoft Give-and-take does come with the option to add a Cover Page using templates supplied in the software. However, there may come a time when you'd like to customize a page with a background you've establish on the web or from MyCuteGraphics. Unfortunately, when you choose to add a background color or groundwork paradigm to your word document, the background color or background image furnishings all pages. However, there is a piece of work-around that can be used to add a single background to only i page.

In this tutorial I'm going to use a striped background that I've saved to the desktop. We're going to add together a rectangle shape to the first folio in Word and and then make full it with the background image. We'll demand to format the rectangle shape so that the background paradigm is tiled so information technology will appear correctly.

With Word open and a new document created, click on the "Insert" tab at the elevation and then the click on the "Shapes" push and select rectangle:

Elevate the rectangle on the showtime page until information technology meets all four edges and covers the unabridged page:

Side by side, right click on the shape (get-go page) and select "Format Shape" in the menu that appears:

A "Format Picture" box volition open. Make certain "Fill" is selected, then select "Moving picture or Texture Fill":

Click on "File" and a new window volition open. Locate the background image from the location information technology was saved to your computer - for this tutorial I saved the paradigm to the desktop and volition import it from there. Once you locate the image double-click on information technology:

You might notice that subsequently you double-click the paradigm you will see a preview of the background on the page. Considering the background is 100x100 it'south being stretched and looks a bit blurry. We will need to tile the groundwork so that it appears correctly. With the "Format Flick" Box still open check the "Tile moving picture as texture" box so click close:

After you've formatted the shape hold your mouse over the bottom of the document and 2 arrows will appear - double-click those arrows 1-2 times. Yous should now be able to insert more pages and add text to the first folio (The arrows did not announced in the screenshot, sorry):
