Using a word documnt as a form background picture

[it2hill]

Good day,

I have a word document that I would like to use as the background for a form (I also have the same document in .pdf if that helps). At any rate I want to use this as the background for my form, so to the user it looks like it always has. I have taken screen shots and pasted them into paint, thus now having a .bmp of the document. However I am having trouble getting the text boxes lined up, as design mode and actual form display do not look the same. Is there a easy way to do this, or am I bound to trial and error.. or is there some property of the picture I am not setting?

Thanks

Catch the Word Doc with a <Alt>printscreen.

Then go to msPaint and do a paste of that screen.

Clean up the screen and save as a 'bmp'

Add the 'bmp' to the proper properties method in the form.

Try inserting it as a picture rather than the background. You'll have exact placement. Then just put your controls on top of that object.
