How to prevent background picture from "tiling"?

After inserting a picture in my index page and designating it as
"background", it appears "tiled." I have not been able to figure out how to
fix this. I have been through the MS tutorials and tried to find a reason for
this by doing web searches.
"help" doesn't provide guidance for this strange effect.
Thanks for any assistance.

A background image will always tile to fill the space available to it.
Background images never resize. If the space is too small, the image
will be cropped to fit.

You can prevent tiling (but not cropping) with a little CSS:

In the <head> section of the page (in code view):
<style type="text/css">
body: {background: green url(images/backgd.jpg) no-repeat center;}
</style>

Change the colour to suit your design and the image - this colour will
show through where the image does not reach.
The above CSS will place the image backgd.jpg in the centre of the page
without tiling.
Remove any other references to the background image in the page,
especially from the <body> tag.

If you are using a theme this will not work, you will have to modify the
theme (save with a new name) and set the background as a watermark.
