This is explained in the link posted earlier. The fact that I chose to use
Word Art is really irrelevant. This is just a type of graphic. Once you have
the graphic in the first label revert to the procedure shown in that link
http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm . A workaround for the problem
you are having is described there below the watermark images

Thanks for your detailed reply. I have got as far as the bit where I
have to copy the edited/washedout image onto the rest of the labels
on the page. When I click copy and go to the other labels and select
paste, it automatically jumps back to the first label and pastes it
on top and it appears as the unwashed image.
What have I done wrong?

Paste the clipart into a label, select it and then from the format
menu, select Picture and on the Format Picture dialog, go to the
Layout tab and select the Behind Text option. You may want to go
the the Size tab and uncheck the Lock aspect ratio control so that
you can drag the borders of the picture to fill the cell completely.
You will need to turn on the Drawing toolbar and click on the Select
objects button at the left hand end of the toolbar to be able to
select the picture once you had sent it behind the text. You may
want to set the Picture to "Washout" using the Picture tab of the
Format Picture dialog.
Once you have the picture the way that you want, you can copy it to
the other labels and you can just enter and align your text on the
labels as if the picture was not there.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I do not fully understand
it. The explains shows the procedure for formatting Wordart. I
want to insert an angel image from clipart and have the text
centered and have the angel image
on the background. Is there a step by step way to be shown how to
do this please?
Many Thanks

I should also have added that I would like the text to be in the
foreground centered, and the graphic to be in the background.
The graphic is from clipart.

I am doing a mail merge for labels for Christmas cards. I am
trying to
insert a graphic but I want the address that I have typed to be
centred
within the graphic. At the moment, when I do this, the text

top of the graphic and if I try and cut/paste it wont work. If I

explain
how
exactly this can be done please?
