Page Numbers as Background

KG · 09-16-2005, 10:05 AM

How do you create the page number to be in the backgound of a worksheet? Not
as a header or footer, but large and in the center of a sheet.

Thanks,
Karen

Thanks, will it print if you select print from the Page Break View? If not
how do you get it to print?

get a cell and , format the properties to put a page number tag to it, put a size what ever you like may be add some transparency to it that should do it,

My other option but you have to be tricky is moving your header to the middle or, adding a text box as a background.

Have fun !!! Remember have to get tricky
