How to fade background picture

[Connie D]

I want to take a tree, fade it to aVERY light tint, and be able to type over
it. Also--when I insert tree picture, it places 6 of them--two rows of three
from top to bottom--on the card. Only want one--and want in centered and
VERY light.

Don't use the "background" format. Insert your tree, select it, click the color
tool (looks like a bar chart) select wash out. You can place this on the Master
Page.

Hopefully this is not a repeat message.
Don't use the "background" format. On the Master page, insert your tree, select
the picture, on the picture toolbar select picture (looks like a bar chart)
click wash out.
