Hello everyone,

I'm having a little problem with Word and I'm struggling to sort it out.

I want to print a page with a background image. When I insert it into my document (Page Color -> Patterns and Textures -> Picture), it appears exactly as I want. When I go to "Print", the preview is also exactly as I wish.
However, when I print, I get a grid with this photo repeated 16 times and I don’t get what I see on the screen.

Do you have a solution to suggest, please?

Thank you in advance.

    Resolved by placing the photo in the header.

      Hello,

      That's what I was going to say.
      Just so you know, the function you used is intended for screen display and not for printing.
      The right solution is to use a watermark, which is exactly what you did, namely inserting it into the header.
      I'll mark your post as resolved.

      Hello M@rina,

      Thank you for your reply! It’s indeed the only solution I found... I had been trying for an hour without success, what a loser I am. ^^

      Have a great day.
