How To design report using Preprinted Form

Hi,

I'm going to create a report from an existing Preprinted Form. I don't want to design the Form's layout again in the Crystal Report Designer. Instead, I try this way: I scan the Preprinted Form and then put it as a backgroud picture in my Report.
However, when I insert the scanned picture, I can't put it as a background of my Report.

I'm now looking for an elegant way to design a report from Preprinted Form.

Thanks for any help

' I can't put it as a background of my Report.'

Why not ?

The picture should go in the page header and you need to set the page header to underlay following sections.

Pete,

Thanks for the info.  I tried your suggestion, however, I can't make the picture underlay all the sections.

I've set the "underlay following section" setting in Page Header Section, but I still can't move the picture to cover all the sections.

Please guide me to the right direction. Thanks

MI
You may have to format all sections to underlay following section.
