Cells/data boxes over pictures

[Skutter]

Hi,

This may be incredibly simple and it is distinctly possible I'm just being dim but bear with me

I have a form (I cant post due to the content) I am looking to populate for printing an would like to auto fill. There are a bunch of graphics on it I cant get the originals for so cant just rebuild without a hell of a lot of drawing. I have tried dropping picture as a background but I get a tiled version (i.e. a bunch of the same picture as tiles) rather than one picture I can try to line up rows/columns to.

My preferred option would be to draw in cells on top of a normally inserted picture (like you would insert a text box) and reference them to data but a regular text box doesn't seem to allow a reference to another cell and I cant find another option that does. Anyone know of a way to do this?

My fall back is to find a way to drop a single (a4) into the background so that I can try to line up the rows columns (removing the row column lines) and overwriting the picture at the points a need the data in. The problem with this is I can either insert the picture but the cells are behind the picture (even after send to back as this is only about picture order) or insert picture as a background which gives me a 'tiled' effect.

Does anyone know a way to do this or do I have to get drawing up some line-art

you can copy the file and change data to generic.

I think it sounds like you want a watermark.

it shows how to make one in excel.
