Add Picture to form
How do you add a picture to the form background and make it transparent.
RE: Add Picture to form
Hi Dan
Thanks for your question.
You would need to manipulate the image first before you put it into the background. You could try doing this in PowerPoint (insert the picture then right-click and choose Format Picture then change the Image Control to grayscale or washout) then you can right-click on the altered picture and save it as an image file. Then insert it into your form.

I have tried this but you cannot still see the picture - what I require is to be able to insert a backgroud picture into the form with still being able to see the format of the form.
Currenty using the greyscale and image file I see no picture.
If I insert a normal JPEG then it blocks out the text and form boxes.
thanks

Hi Dan
You would still need to find some way of changing the image to make it light enough/transparent before inserting it into the form background - you can't make it transparent once it has been inserted.
If you have PhotoShop you would be able to do this.
