If you want to dress up your spreadsheet a little bit, you can add a background image. This works especially well when using images such as corporate logos that give it an “official” look.

1. Go to the Ribbon and select the Page Layout tab.

2. Go to the Page Setup section and select Background.

3. Browse to the location of the desired image.

4. Select the image and click the Insert button.

Your spreadsheet now contains the background image. If you wish to remove it, simply go back to the Page Setup section on the Page Layout tab and select Delete Background.
