Does this help? Hold down the Ctrl key, and drag and drop the bitmap onto the pasteboard (the area outside the page)

Thanks for the sample movie, bw - I have found that the drag drop works, but only to a degree. I've run into a problem, that I will try to describe in detail. In my case, I was dragging to the background page, not the pasteboard. I had 3 different backgrounds I wanted to try out, each of them seamless, so good for tiling. Here is what happened -
I dragged the first background, with ctrl, and dropped it onto the page - worked fine, tiled beautifully. I then wanted to try another, so I dragged a separate jpg and dropped it on, but it just dropped on top, no tiling - plus, it had two tiles, the old one and the new one. So, I thought, just undo it all and restart - I undid back to the blank page, ctrl-dragged a new tile, and it didn't tile, it just sat there, and in addition, now the two other tiles I had used were on there - redid undo, tried a foutrht tile, and now all four tiles are landing on the page. I don't see but one tile listed in the layers pallete - but there are 4 tiles sitting there, un-tiled. I finally had to delete the page, because I couldn't get back to the original tiling.
I could understand how dragging on top of an already tiled surface might not work - and while I'm asking - how does one delete a tiled pattern from a surface? But going back, undoing, should have taken care of that. I had a blank white page, and no way to get ctrl-drag to work again. Is this a bug or a glitch? (I am using Designer Pro 6)
Right-click an empty area of the page or pasteboard, choose 'Default Background Colors'how does one delete a tiled pattern from a surface?
or
Delete the layer from the Page & Layers gallery
Okay, I think it's finally working - I'm not sure why, but it seems to want to grab more than one tile once I've chosen a second one. I noticed how when you grab something new, the previous one still has a slight selection outline on it (in Windows Explorer) Normally this would not be selected, as it's not highlighted like a selection, but it does act as if it's selected. Thus trying to pull over 2 or more tiles of different names, of course it won't work. I don't know if this is a Windows 7 thing or what, just that I've never encountered it before. I now have to click in an empty space to be sure nothing else is even semi-selected before pulling the new tile.
Anyway, what counts is that it does finally work. Thanks for the help
