MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / October 2004Centering Background Image
Does anybody know if there is a way to center a background image in InfoPath? I have a nice looking form with a background that enhances it nicely but the background is overwhelming when the user maximizes the InfoPath window - too much background on either side of the form. I would like the form to look fixed in width, with white borders on the sides if the user expands the window. The only options for background image position are "upper-right" and "upper-left." I also tried adjusting the Custom Layout Width, but this only affects the default size of the tables. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! ~Johnny If you use File->Extract Form Files while you're designing the form, you can view the XSL (and XHTML+CSS) used to create the form. Set the value to be top-left beforehand, so you have the style to play around with. Open the XSL for your view in Notepad, then just change the background-position style to be "center center". You can re-open the XSF file in that folder in the designer, then perform save-as to repackage all those files into an XSN. Your centered style should remain just fine. This isn't included by default, because InfoPath forms with layout tables and repeating containers don't grow as the window expands, so most of the time an iamge that moves around would be in an unpredictable location.

The appropriate tag for me was "top center" - I have it repeating vertically. FYI, it's a nice feature for making slick looking forms. Might consider this is a feature in the next rev.
