I did that just last night to create a book cover. I made a table that had 3 
rows and 3 columns. I put a jpg image in each of the 4 corner cells then 
merged the three cells in the center row. I then put a text box in each of 
the cells so that I could put in colored backgrounds. I have found that if 
you put a background into a word doc whether it be image or color word 
automatically switches to web page mode which is a HUGE annoyance to me. The 
workaround I came up with was using text boxes and putting backgrounds in 
them. If anyone knows how to put a background in a word document without it 
changing to a web page I would love to hear about it.
