Hi, I am trying to create a letterhead template in MS Word 2003. I have inserted tiff images into the header and footer to replicated the printed letterhead. This looks fine on my screen and a few other PCs, but on some the header and footer does not display at all. It has been suggested to me that I need to insert the images as watermarks into the header and footer. I have managed to insert the image as a watermark into the header but not into the footer as it would appear that only 1 watermark is allowed per page. Is there a way round this? Can I also insert the footer image as a watermark without losing the header image as I currently am? Alternately, any other suggestions as to how to solve the original problem. Many thanks
A watermark is nothing more or less than a graphic anchored to the header (or footer) and formatted as Behind Text (and, if it's really trying to be a "watermark," the color will be set to "Washout"). It can appear anywhere on the page. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm. You might also want to see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm You can have as many such objects as you like, but only one can be inserted using Format | Background | Printed Watermark. -- Suzanne S.
