How do I print the background tiled image?

Just another reason to hate MicroSoft. You can't print background images
with Excel. So why is that background image feature available? To look
pretty to the creator of the spreadsheet? Who knows why they do, what they
do, with out pre-thinking. I'll stick to my Macintosh Adobe products. What a
waste of time.

See the following link for more info.

Looks like the MS article no longer has the same content
so here are some more references.

Watermark, printing of, Robert Rosenberg. Also Ron de Bruin has a zip file.
