Hello, all I thank you in advance for taking the time to read and hopefully help. I am working with half a brain, trying to make what I need to have happen with very limited knowledge. My knowledge basically ends with CSS (and is spotty there) -- I don't understand the XML-ajiggers. This suits me fine on the web -- I can position my text right over my picture using DIV and CSS positioning with Z-order. Trouble is, when I open the file in Word 2003, the graphic is forced to "in line with text" -- which of course screws everything up. I tried to change the picture to "behind text" and then view the HTML source, but it is all Greek to me. I don't know if it is a CSS issue or a Word issue, but can someone please tell me how to set a picture to open with the "behind text" attribute set from HTML? Thanks again! Shannon
