The graphic you're looking at on Windy's page is merely a thumbnail of the
original.  If you right clicked on it, and saved it, it will produce only a
mini-version of the background you're trying to get.  For her site, left
click on the background first, then when you get the full page with the
background displayed, right click and click "Save Background As..."  That'll
get you the correct graphic.  Afterwards, make sure you set up <body
background="whatever.gif" bgcolor="xxxxxx" text = etc, etc.>

That should take care of it

Subject:	Background question

I found a background I would like to use on a web page but am having
difficulty getting it to look the way I want.

The background has a border built into it. I saved the image and have put
it into a page - but I am not getting the narrower left strip and the wider
right side. I am getting a mini version on my page, narrow stripe, wider
strip, narrow stripe, wider strip, narrow stripe, wider strip, etc. What am
I doing wrong.

The background came from this web page, and I am using the sample from the
actual page.

http://www.windyweb.com/design/grain/pg.htm

I suspect it is pretty simple, but this is the first time I have used
something other than just a color for a page.

Thanks in advance for your help.
