I've noticed over the last several releases that the help provided via
the main menu bar is hopelessly inaccurate.

E.g., today I wanted to set up a document with an image as the
background.  The help search returned a section of backgrounds ->
colors/images and it says to click on Format -> Page and select the
Backgrounds tab.  There isn't one.  There is a Colors tab, but it's
not clear what that really means.

There have been other such inaccuracies I've seen in the past, though
in my haste I've never documented them but just plowed ahead and
blundered through.

In a professional production, help menus should match the actual
features of the application.  LibreOffice can (and should) do better.

Try Format > Page > Area > Bitmap.

You have to add your background image to the list of bitmaps shown on the left side.  The only problem, for me, is getting the image options the way I want it to look on the page. I use this a lot for making posters for events - both Letter size, Tabloid [11"x17"] size paper printed "in-house".

Does this help?
