Watermark behind text in the footer?

Hello Excel experts!

I'm working on a spreadsheet of about 50 pages in Excel 2003.

Ideally, the client would like each page to have a footer with a number
1, 2, 3, etc... in the bottom right hand corner...identifying his
content. These are not page numbers he wants, just a simple numbering
sequence. I can handle THAT part! LOL

What he'd also like is a watermark type of graphic to sit *behind* each
number. For example, let's say that he'd like each number
super-imposed onto a maple leaf background.

I've managed to get the maple leaf background (graphic) to sit on
either side of the inserted number, but not actually to sit "behind"
it. I understand that Excel doesn't have the functionality to mimic
watermarks, but knowing this group, I'm sure there've been some
workarounds discovered!

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!
Karen

P.S. I also tried inserting the graphic, not directly into the footer,
but just by eye-balling it and inserting it onto the spreadsheet. This
worked great for the 'footer', but threw the rest of the cells in the
body of the page out of alignment.
