Joachim,
Try adding a grid that is 1x1 and set its height and width. Create a
style with a background image and apply the style to the grid.
Then drop text, label, or data items in grid.

Jason,
thanks a lot. That worked fine, but how do I accomplish an exact
positioning of text, label, etc. BIRT let me specify top, bottom,
center. Is there any way to drag it to a desired position within the grid?
Best regards - Jo

Joachim,
You can use the margins and the height/width property in the advanced
properties for the label/text element. Make sure to set the report
layout to fixed in the general properties for the report.
Take a look at this example. Edit the background image style to replace
with your image.
