I was preparing a stationary to use with an upcoming reunion.

I created a header and placed some squadron logos in it and a line of text.

When I am working in the header the graphics are full color and normal.

When I close the header they become dimmed. When I print, the graphics
print dimmed.

I think I am not doing something I should, but I can't figure it out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dennis

The dimming when you're not in the header pane is normal. Dimming in print
is not unless you have defined the graphic as a "watermark."

I am embarrassed to say I was printing in draft mode.

When I changed to my Epson, it prints normally.

thanks,

Dennis

Thanks for the feedback; this was worrying me. Note, however, that in some
versions of Word "watermark" is a color setting (called "washout" in later
versions).
