Hello all!

As of today on Version 6.2.4.2 (x64) I don't see the option, and the set as
background options for Calc aren't as good as for Writer as shown in attachment
152298.

There is a clunky albeit workable way to manage image inserting in the header
in Writer by doing a specific position background and manually tweaking the
size in inches of the image but that requires knowing the exact aspect ratio
and doing the math of it or accepting a potentially squished image. Even this
method is not available in Calc at this time. Neither have a simple and
straightforward "Insert picture" option within the header.

Ideal options in my case being the ability to insert an image bound to the
header and scale it to fit the header size while maintaining the aspect ratio.

Current option in Writer is to insert the logo as an area background bitmap and
manually scale it in order to maintain the aspect ratio or auto scale it and
let it get stretched to fill the whole area (which generally looks terrible).
This is clunky but effective eventually.

Current option in Calc is to open Draw and manually edit and rescale the image
itself until it fits the header size you want and then insert it as a
positional background image, then tweak the header size and spacing until both
the image and text you are looking for fit. I only state this here as it is a
possible solution for people who need it urgently, but it's an untenable
process that requires far too much time to do something so simple.

Current option in Excel is open page properties > Header > click insert
picture. This is far better than the two above. If you wish, you can even
insert an additional image, currently not possible in either Calc or Writer to
my knowledge.
