    Place picture behind text

    In Excel X for Mac: Need to place picture behind text (in cells, no textbox), WITHOUT making picture "Background" (via Format->Sheet command). Any ideas?

    Re: Place picture behind text

    In all versions of XL (Win and Mac), pictures reside in the drawing
    layer *above* the cells. They can't be placed in cells, which can
    contain only values or formulae.

    One technique is to place the picture above the cells, then increase the
    transparancy.

    Another method is to use the camera tool to take a linked picture of the
    cells, format the picture with a no-fill background, then place the
    desired "background" picture above the cells, then locate the cell
    picture in front of the other picture.
