Backgroud in textbox
I have created a text box. I want to insert a picture to use as a watermark.
When I insert the picture I can select the picture properties and change it to washout which is great. However the option to change the layout to behind text is greyed out, as are all of the layout options. I want to have the picture behind the text, only inside the text box. Is there a better way to do this? -- NLHTECH |

Backgroud in textbox
Instead of insert the picture, have you tried using the Format Text Box,
Colors and Lines, Color: Fill Effects, Picture, to insert the picture as the background of the text box. You will probably need to fiddle with the picture size to get the desired effect in the text box, ensure you check the box "Lock picture aspect ratio" in the Picture dialog. You can use the Transparency scrol bar to get the washout effect. This background will always be behind any text in the TextBox. Hope this helps DeanH "Tech" wrote: I have created a text box.

It sounds like you are trying to make the picture go behind the text using
the picture toolbar. Try this: After getting the picture the way you want, click on the border of the text box and format the text box to go behind the text. It's the whole text box that goes behind, not just the picture in the text box. Does that make sense? -- GTS "DeanH" wrote: Instead of insert the picture, have you tried using the Format Text Box, Colors and Lines, Color: Fill Effects, Picture, to insert the picture as the background of the text box.

Backgroud in textbox
DeanH,
After create Text Box under ActiveX controls - Format Object - Color and Lines - Fill -Color: Fill Effects... Picture - Select Picture I can view the picture after select and set Transparency to 10%, 50% and 100% I can't see any image in the text box? I'm missing anything? What we like to do is make a note on top of the image. is it possible? Thanks "GTS" wrote: It sounds like you are trying to make the picture go behind the text using the picture toolbar.

If you want to put text on top of an image, then you can insert the image
inline (In Line with Text wrapping) and use a text box with No Line and No Fill with In Front of Text wrapping. -- Suzanne S.
