send picture to background so I can still use cells
I have a technical drawing that I need to insert site specific dimensions. How can I send picture of drawing to background so I can type dimension into cell? Tried using "send to back" function but cells still blocked.
A picture is always on top of the cells layer. If you want to be able to enter something in/on the picture, you could place text boxes with No Fill on top of the picture.

It is possible to insert an image as the background to a sheet from the Page Layout Ribbon Tab. Things to bear in mind are that this creates a tiled background so any image free part of the worksheet has to be achieved by having white space within the inserted image. You would also need to hide the rows/columns beyond the image boundary.
It could work, but overlaid images or text boxes would be more reliable. e.g.

Thank you for the quick reply. Thought that might be solution but didnt see text box option. Found it & works exactly as needed.
