Hi,
In HTML, if one uses the background= attribute in the <body > tag,
the background covers the entire page. Similarly, in MS Word,
inserting a background covers the whole page. Yet in OO.o,
inserting a background only fills up the writable area while beyond
the margins the page remains backgroundless. How does one fix this?

When you have inserted the graphic, drag the edges to cover the full
page. Right click the graphic, set the wrap to background & anchor to
page & arrange send to back. Then move to the far right & click
outside of the graphic, this will put you back in text mode.
The problem then is that I can't seem to move around within or select
any text. Any mouse clicks within the page select the graphic, not
text. It's messy having to resize the b/g picture and move it to one
side every time I want to edit text. It's even messier having to put
the same picture onto every page individually. OTOH using
format|page|background won't fill the page, but at least I can edit
the text!
Incidentally, a related problem is how to have a single picture split
over two adjacent pages in booklet format. But I think I may have
mentioned this some months ago :-(
More info/hints available in the Help|Openoffice.org|backgrounds
Which isn't, I'm afraid, very helpful.

I haven't tried this but would using a watermark instead of a background
help?
