H/F are a different 'layer' than the text content of a doc, so as long as you
are in an *editing* view the layer you active in will be more vivid than the
other layer.

The 2 easiest options are to instruct the recipients to use Print Preview or
send them PDFs rather than a copy of the doc.

If I insert a picture in a header or footer, once I close the header the
image becomes faded out. It still prints fine, but I want to send the
document to other people and the image looks terrible. Is there anyway that I
can get rid of this fading so that the header is always clearly visible?
