Setting a document background image
A document can have a background image—an image that lies “under” the document’s content. A background image repeats to fill the document, no matter how large the window in which the document is open is.
To set a background image on a document
- On the Document menu, go to Property, click Document, and then click the Appearance tab.
- In the Background image box, type the path or URL to an image file, or do one of the following:
- Click
(Browse) to find and select an image file from your local file system.
- Click
(Clip Art) to select an image from the clip art library.
- Click
(Site) to select from a list of image files belonging to the current local site (if one is open).
- Click
Alternatively, you can set a document background image by using the background-image cascading style sheets property on the <body> element of a document. This method provides greater flexibility, since you can use the property in combination with the background-attachment, background-position, and background-repeat properties to control the background image’s scrolling, starting position, and repetition characteristics.
