To insert an image as a background, I click Insert > Picture > From File... and select an image of a nice, subtle pattern for my budget spreadsheet. However, my table is 536 cells long and growing, so the image ends pretty soon after I scroll. My current solution to this is to edit the image in Seashore and "manually" create a tiled mega-image of my original. I was thinking it'd be nice if Calc gave me the option to tile the image, or perhaps to freeze the image such that it doesn't move with the cells as I scroll. Inconvenience at most, but worth my time to write this enhancement "bug" out. Operating System: Mac OS X Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Confirm - sheet background is missing (but is an option in Excel 2003+). There is menu > format > page.. > background > set as "graphic" however this is only for setting page background at printing.
