I'm sure I used that before successfully, but I should also have double
checked this one before sending my original post, since I've just tried it
and it doesn't appear to work, at least not in NN4.6.

So the best way is to use a containing table with the background image, and
nest one or more tables inside that with the content.

Sorry about that small piece of misinformation!
