Excel Shipping Invoice with Printable Truck Background Image

This template is based on the Shipping Invoice Template (1) (c5013). It adds a truck image as a watermark that will be shown on the printed invoice and the PDF invoice generated with our app.

Here are the brief steps to adding an image as the watermark of the form:

1. Open the "Page Setup" dialog box in Excel.
2. Go to the "header / Footer" tab.
3. Check "Scale with document" and "Align with paper margins", and then click "Custom Header".
4. On the "Header" dialog box, click to activate the "Center Section" box.
5. Click the "Insert Picture" button on the toolbar.
6. Specify the image you want to use.
7. Once the picture has been specified, Excel inserts a "&[picture]" placeholder into the "Center Section" box.
8. Click to select the "&[Picture]" symbol, then click the "Format Picture" button on the toolbar. This opens the "Format Picture" dialog box.
9. In the "Size and rotate" section, set the height and width of the picture to the proper values. In this case, the target paper is standard A4 paper (8.27 inch X 11.69 inch), so we set the image size to 6.89 inch (height) and 8 inch (width). This makes the truck image appear in the center of the printed form.
10. Go to the "Picture" tab. In the "Image Control" section, set "Brightness" to 85% and contrast to 30%.
11. Click the "Compress" button to make the inserted image smaller in file size.
12. Close the "Format Picture" dialog box.
13. Click OK to close the "Header" dialog box.
14. Click "Print Preview" on the "Page Setup" dialog box.
15. Excel shows the document in preview mode.
16. You may need to go back and adjust the size, brightness, and contrast to get a better effect.
17. Once everything is done, click the "Design Mode" button on the ribbon tab to exit design mode.
18. Save the template.
