How do I have a picture as a background for each label in mail mer
Hi:
Using Word 2003 I am printing labels with mail merge data, and wish to have each label have a picture as a background. I have tried Format-Background-Watermark and Format-Background-Fill Effects, choosing a picture each time, but it applies the picture as a background to all the labels (whole document). I want the whole picture as a background on each label. Thanks for any help, Keren |

How do I have a picture as a background for each label in mail mer
With the cursor in the first label on the sheet, select Pictures from the
Insert menu and then select from File and select the picture that you want as the back ground. Then select the picture in that label and from the Format menu, select Picture and on the Layout tab of the Format Picture dialog, select Behind text and on the Picture tab, select Washout from the Image control. You manually adjust the degree of washout by using the Brightness and Contrast controls. Then, when you have the merge fields set up in that label, click on the Propogate Labels button on the Mailmerge toolbar to replicate the layout to each label on the sheet. I probably should have started by advising you to turn on the Mailmerge toolbar by selecting Toolbars from the View menu and checking that item. -- Hope this helps.
