You should use real text for search engines, language translators and screen readers.  Images of text especially in the background cannot be indexed.  Feel free to use a Google or Typekit web font to dress it up a little. 

Here's a working example of a Goggle web font styled with CSS.

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<title>Example Header</title>

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Not sure of what you are having a problem with? Just add it like you would any other image on your site. Maybe elaborate a bit more on where you are stuck.

Adding a background image to the heading of the page. Instead of using color, use an image. I want to add a background image to that heading I shared.

So you're saying there is no way to add a background image?

No I'm not saying you cannot use a background-image.  I'm saying  a background-image used this way is not ideal for lots of reasons.   Real text is better.  To understand why, read the Google SEO Starter Guide.  It's best you learn about this now than after it's too late.

margin: 0;

padding: 1%;

background: navy url("https://placeimg.com/1200/200/nature") no-repeat;

The generic way to add an image in DW is to go to Insert > Image or Ctrl + Alt + i.

Choose an image from your site folder and hit OK.

For more specific instructions, we would need to see your code.
