I can replicate this behavior. I would have to consider it a bug, but I'm
afraid there's really no way around it. You can make your text appear beside
the graphic (or text box) instead of behind it by giving it a right indent.
And you can force the header to extend to the depth of the graphic by adding
Space After as needed (or just let the text in the body of the document wrap
around the graphic). But since the text is not going to wrap below the
graphic (or need to, from your description), you'd probably still be better
off just putting the graphic and the text in a borderless table. You can
still use the text box extending down the side of the page. Anchor that
outside the table, though, so as not to cause pagination problems.

Sorry. I'm still having a problem with this after numerous tries. I
think
what is happening is that somehow I am anchoring the picture in the
header,
but not placing it entirely within the header. I can duplicate the
situation
with a simple new word 2002 file using a small jpeg picture. When I enter
"header/footer" and then (from within the header), with cursor at left,
insert the pic... it fills up the header and the cursor moves to the line
below, but still within the header (now large) area. This format remains
the
same on subsequent pages. However, when I click on the picture and format
it
to a square wrapping style, the text I originally had below the pic is now
moved to the top and appears behind the picture, and the actual header
area
is reduced to that required by the text. The pic remains the same size,
but
now is anchored and extends into the rest of the document. I would have
expected that the text at the bottom would wrap around the picture (which
only extends a 1/3 of the way across) and the whole pic would have
remained
in the header area not simply anchored. ....When I leave the header
area,
and type text within the main document, the text wraps appropriately
(square
wrapping style) around the pic. Should I reload my word - or am I just
completely doing something wrong??

If by "beneath the pics" you mean behind them, then make sure you don't
have
the wrapping on the graphic and text box set to "In Front of Text." It
must
be Square or Tight.

Thanks for the help. Sorry for posting in two forums initially. I'll
try
and summarize what's happening more clearly. Essentially what I have
in my
header is text to the left (that i modify in different documents),
then a
company logo (fixed towards right), and a text box (extending down the
right
side anchored to header) on extreme right. When I type in the header
my
text
runs beneath these objects. It appears that when I insert a pic or
text
box,
it gets anchored to the header and shows up on every page. However,
when
I
type in the header area, the text goes beneath the pics and is not
visible
despite setting text wrapping. However, when I delete the text in the
header, the header length decreases but the pics remain the same size
although now half outside the header. When I type in the regular
document,
the text wrapping works fine. Is there anyway to lock a pic into the
header
with text wrapping, ie so that you couldn't decrease the overall size
of
the
header without deleting the pic? The only way I can get around this is
to
insert the pic and text box, and then type the text needed, and use
"paragraph settings" to reset the margins to exclude the pic and text
box
areas. I'm using word 2002 XP - i note that Word 2003 seems to
reference
a
"custom header" function for this problem, but I don't think I have
that.
Thank you.

Don't use a text box for your text (or your picture). Insert the
text
first.
Then insert the picture (which will be anchored to the text
paragraph
you
just created), and set the wrapping to Square or Tight. Using the
Advanced
Layout controls, set the picture position as Right Relative to
Margin.
If you just want text on the left and a picture on the right (you're
not
actually wrapping the text *around* the picture), you can put them
in a
borderless two-cell table, but be aware that there will be an empty
text
paragraph below the table. You can format it as 1 point or Hidden,
but
that
can sometimes cause problems when you go back to edit the header and
forget
that the paragraph is there.

I'm working on a header, and have inserted a text box and pixture
(even
tried
it with just a picture) on the right hand side of the header. I
have
formatted it so that text is wrapped around it, but when I type in
the
header
the text runs beneath the picture and doesn't wrap. Can you do
this
in a
header? Any suggestions?
