Hi.

I want to use a picture as the backround for a chart, but
I do not want it "stretched." When I click on fill
effects and select the picture, it defaults to stretch and
my other options (Stack and Stack/Scale) are greyed out.

How can I select these other options?

Thanks,
Mike.
 
Mike -

Those options are only available for filling in column or bar chart
series. You can make each picture represent a certain number of Y axis
units. For a chart or plot area background, you need to crop the picture
first, then make sure the chart maintains an appropriate aspect ratio
for the picture.
