Word (Web Version): I cannot have a photo cover the entire page

Copper Contributor

What I want should be simple, but I have spent almost a day and it does not work. I have to photo from which I want to make a cover for the book I have written. But no matter what I do, changing margins/ruler/wrapping photo behind the text/ it does not work. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? Do note that my page is 9.3 height, 6.6 width!

@omairsaidi I am not sure about the web version, but with the desktop version, I would insert the photo into the Header and set its layout so that it was behind the text and then drag it to the top left of the page and then increase the dimensions so that it fills the page.  

It you want to add any text, exit from the Header and insert the text into the body of the document.

@Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP I put the photo in the header and wrapped it behind text, and then increased its dimensions. Around half an inch is still white above the photo but that is ok more or less. Now the problems is that the photo has a faded color. Like when we used to add watermarks in our pages and the would be seen but since they were not the main focus they be watery or faded. The same thing with this photo, because I added it in the header. Does not have its 4k quality. What can I do?

@omairsaidi You can click and drag the photo to the top of the page (and then change the dimensions to suit)

When you print the document, or save it as a pdf file, the image will no longer appear faded.
