Dear Mentor:

Please find the following information (listed below)
for references to my issue . . . .

My problem is that I cannot get
my background image to load or appear on my HTML/XML
document once I have created it via MS WORD's Web Publish
feature. I appreciate anything that you can assist me
with in order to make this happen. I do realize that the
image I'm
currently using is a bitmap (and I have saved a GIF as
well which doesn't look very well once saved). But I'm
just trying
to make sure that my coding isn't the problem. I will
fix the image later. And yes - do realize that 'full
page' backgrounds
are not recommended for web pages regardless of format
(GIFs, JPEGs, BMPs, etc.) due to the fact that it slows
down
the load time. I have explained all of this to the
client that I'm working for, but they are wanting me to
try this anyway. I have
not uploaded this file to our website (Intranet) yet
since I'm still working on it. Therefore, I have the
HTML/XML document
currently saved on my local hard-drive for now.

Thank you for your time and assistance (in advance)!

Sincerely,

Jeannine Reynolds

'Background Images" section was from the following
website: http://books.evc-cit.info/ch04.php#image-body-
info-section

'The Code from my document" section was from my HTML/XML
document that I have created and saved on my hard-drive
for the WORD.doc file I'm currently using.

HTML Goodies website give this code for HTML (which they
say to place in the <body> section of the code: <BODY
BACKGROUND="image.gif">
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/backgrnd.html

Background Images
A background image is entirely described in the style
portion of your document. You need to put a
<style:background-image> element within the
<style:properties> element. This element will have
xlink:href, xlink:actuate, and xlink:type attributes as
described in the section called "Body Information for
Images in Text" <ch04.php> (even though the attributes are
in the style section, not the body section), and
draw:transparency, ranging from 0% to 100%.
The <style:background-image> has the following additional
properties:
style:repeat
The background image can be tiled repeat, stretched to fit
the frame stretch, or appear at its normal size no-repeat.
style:position
If the background image is not repeated, then you have to
tell where it should be placed within the frame. The value
of this attribute consists of two whitespace-separated
values giving the vertical position of the image (top,
bottom, or center) and horizontal position of the image
(left, right, or center).

Hi Jeannine,

You appear to be using Word 2000(v9)

To add a background graphic in Word 2000 for a web document
you can use Format=>Background=>Fill Effects=>Picture
and select your picture. It will automatically create the
HTML code needed and tile the graphic.
