How to add a snowflake background to online word doc?

[Model T Barn]

I'm trying to create a christmas letter with a snowflake or other christmas
background. This will be put on a CD with some family pictures. Where can I
find backgrounds to download and how do I insert it into the documant?

Some beautiful snowflake pics can be found at:

You could use an image editor to up the brightness and lower the contrast to make it suitable as a watermark.

To add to your document (Word 2000 here, hope it's same/similar for you):

Format -> Background -> Fill Effects... -> Picture tab

Good Luck,
Keith
