It looks like other people have had a similar problem to this one:
I have a title page (PageLayout) that has a background image set in the Page Properties. When I publish to PDF it works fine, but when I publish to Word it does not appear.
On subsequent pages, a different image that is in the header is also missing.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a Flare bug?
I am running Flare 2017 r3.

Re: Background images in Word output
I have a sneaky suspicion (but I could be wrong) that background images aren't supported in Word output.
Started as a newbie with Flare 6.1, now using Flare 2023.

Re: Background images in Word output
Yes this is annoying. I worked around the problem by adding a regular image to the page layout (not a background image). The image ends up as an inline-shape in Word where I use a macro to convert it into a shape, tweak the size and layout, and float it behind the text. Kind of a pain though.

Re: Background images in Word output
Yes, it seems to be a Flare limitation. We are only using Word for reviews, so I'll just skip it.
