No. Watermarking is adding some text or image over the top
e.g.
Copyright By ME
Copying prohibtited
I think that what you need to do is to use an image editor and change the transparency to a fairly large number, say 75%. I can do
this with Picture It!, but most image editors would do it.

You need to use an image editor and how to do it depends on the image editor you are using
In Picture It!, it is
Photo & color effects
Color or texture
Transparent fade even
You then select a number between 0 and 100 - 75 looks OK to me - and click on Done.
Each image editor will have different menus, but you should eventually end up in the situation where you select a transparency
number.
After this, save the image, either as the same name or as a different name.
How would I get it onto/into a Frontpage background?
To add any code into your page, you need to use Code or HTML view
You can just cut the code below and paste it into the page.
To add a background, define a style.
This can be done in the <head> section by:
<style type = "text/css">
#mystyle {
background: url("images/myimage.jpg");
}
</style>
(Alter the name of the image.)
Then apply the style to the element
It could be :
<body class="mystyle">
or
<table class="mystyle">

Robyn said:Trevor, Thanks so much for your help. I tried using Microsoft Imager,
made my logo transparent, then I inserted my background image into
the imaging program. I then put my transparent image on top of the
background image and saved it. The problem is when I opened up the
new background in FP, my logo was all over the background in rows. It
also was blurry. I only wanted it in the center. Please see the
website below as an example. It has ER vertically on the screen.
Thanks.

I can't see the problem you are referring to.
What is the logo with the problem?
Is it "images/bg.gif" or "images/bger.gif" ?

Robyn said:I'm sorry. I guess I'm not explaining this right. What I'm trying to
do is mirror the background of this website. It uses the ER logo
throughout the page and it looks clear but faded into the background.
Exactly what I'm trying to do. Thanks for your patience.
