So, how do you insert a background in an Excel worksheet? Follow these steps (source):
1 - Click the worksheet that you want to display with a sheet background. Make sure only one worksheet is selected.
2 - On the Format menu, point to Sheet, and then click Background.
3 - Select the picture that you want to use for the sheet background, and then click Insert.
Because a sheet background is not printed, it cannot be used as a watermark, but you can mimic a watermark. If you want to display a graphic on every printed page (for example, to indicate that the information is confidential), you can insert the graphic in a header or footer. This way, the graphic appears behind the text, starting at the top or bottom of every page. You can also resize or scale it to fill the page.
The steps to follow are:
1 - On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
2 - In the Page Setup dialog box, click Custom Header or Custom Footer.
3 - Click in the Left section, Center section, or Right section box.
4 - In the row of buttons in the Header or Footer dialog box, click Insert Picture and then find the graphic you want to insert.
5 - Double-click the graphic to insert it in the header or footer section box.
6 - To resize or scale the graphic, click Format Picture in the row of buttons in the Header or Footer dialog box and then, in the Format Picture dialog box, select the options you want on the Size tab.
