    In re: to inserting a picture on the entire page, I have had good results with the following method: Draw a Textbox to fit the entire page. Change all margins to “0.” Select Textbox, right click and choose “Format Shape” from the menu. At “Format Shape” window under “Fill” choose “Picture or texture fill.” Choose “Insert from:” -> “File” and insert picture. The picture will leave a small area of equal white space around picture. You can then select Textbox and remove the borders.

    You would need to set the text wrapping for the picture so that it is either in-front of or behind the text.

    Note, if you will be printing the book, most printers cannot print "full bleed" which would be required to be able to print right to the edges of the paper.
