How do I print a background image in Word 2007 without tile?

Whoever helps me find a solution to this is pretty darn smart.



I thought this would be a piece of cake but realize now it's harder than it

seems even though it should not.



I made a beautiful letterhead for my company but have it in Jpeg



So I decided to write a contract on it with word and paste the letterhead as

a background



I did some searching on how to do this, because as usual, the most simple

and obvious option of doing something was not apparent in a Microsoft program

:(



I tried adding it as a watermark, but you only have options of

50-100-150-200 and 500% and none worked (Again no obvious available option

here to include a manual setting or 75% which might have worked), besides

that i do not want a faded looking picture using this option.



So than i did more research and found an option to add a picture through

page colors option which is next to the watermark option.



I went there (Word/Page Layout/Page Color/Fill Effects/Picture) and clicked

on fill effects than inserted a picture



It went in perfectly so i was very happy, I did print preview it showed

exactly what i wanted to print, I was also able to type on it which is what I

need to do.



But than i printed it and it came out Tiled, why?



All i simply want to do, for the love of God, is take this letterhead Jpeg

that I have and paste it on a word file and write a contract and print it



With 1 billion options why cant this simple thing be done



I was told to visit this page

https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=8753&st=1 as well as

this page http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051899221033.aspx



I also found these 2 poor souls who had the same problem but never got an

answer to it:

It's not hard; you made it hard. You needed to just look at the options

in the program and not searching the web for it. It's right there on the

insert tab on the ribbon, Insert>>Picture>>navigate to the image you

want to insert, then move it to the position you want it in. It's that

simple.



A watermark IS a faded image that shows under the text. When you

inserted it as a fill, that's what it did, it filled the page.
