I am making electronic letterhead and I use a graphic as a watermark that
is almost full page - logo at the top, address info at the bottom - but if I
want to change the page margins, specifically increasing the top margin, the
watermark shifts downward.

Shouldn't such a graphic be decoupled from the editable portion, or is there
a way to insert some sort of background graphic that is decoupled from page
editing?

Many Kind Thanks!

Mike

If the watermark is anchored to the header and its position is defined
relative to the page, then changes in margins should not affect it.

Thanks Suzanne!

How exactly do I do that?

OK, figured out how to do that, yet it still shifts the graphic down after
it is aligned relative to the page - I also noted that it will not let me do
both horizontal AND vertical alignment.

Where do we go from here?

Thanks again!

Mike
