    How to have a background print out

    Hello all,

    I have a spreadsheet which is for incentivising a number of sales team. It looks like a bar chart although it uses conditional formating to draw the bars.

    The incentive scheme is based on Formula 1 and so there is a nice visual background of an F1 car, but when I print it I don't get the background.

    Is there anyway that I can get it so that the background prints?

    Thanks

    S

    Tested out saving as PDF in Excel 2007, sorry, that won't work either.

    Here’s a work around.

    Insert your Formula 1 picture in a blank worksheet using Insert Picture and get it to the proper page size.

    Then Copy your spreadsheet and superimpose as text on top of the picture using Copy / Paste

    Print it out.

    It’s not 100% but it looks pretty good.

    kosciosco, workarounds will be your only option. Backgrounds in Excel files have never printed.
