Header with picture or text box
If by "beneath the pics" you mean behind them, then make sure you don't have
the wrapping on the graphic and text box set to "In Front of Text." It must be Square or Tight. -- Suzanne S.

"Scott" wrote in message ... Thanks for the help. Sorry for posting in two forums initially. I'll try and summarize what's happening more clearly. Essentially what I have in my header is text to the left (that i modify in different documents), then a company logo (fixed towards right), and a text box (extending down the right side anchored to header) on extreme right. When I type in the header my text runs beneath these objects. It appears that when I insert a pic or text box, it gets anchored to the header and shows up on every page. However, when I type in the header area, the text goes beneath the pics and is not visible despite setting text wrapping. However, when I delete the text in the header, the header length decreases but the pics remain the same size although now half outside the header. When I type in the regular document, the text wrapping works fine. Is there anyway to lock a pic into the header with text wrapping, ie so that you couldn't decrease the overall size of the header without deleting the pic? The only way I can get around this is to insert the pic and text box, and then type the text needed, and use "paragraph settings" to reset the margins to exclude the pic and text box areas. I'm using word 2002 XP - i note that Word 2003 seems to reference a "custom header" function for this problem, but I don't think I have that. Thank you. "Suzanne S.

Then insert the picture (which will be anchored to the text paragraph you just created), and set the wrapping to Square or Tight. Using the Advanced Layout controls, set the picture position as Right Relative to Margin. If you just want text on the left and a picture on the right (you're not actually wrapping the text *around* the picture), you can put them in a borderless two-cell table, but be aware that there will be an empty text paragraph below the table. You can format it as 1 point or Hidden, but that can sometimes cause problems when you go back to edit the header and forget that the paragraph is there. -- Suzanne S.

"Scott" wrote in message ... I'm working on a header, and have inserted a text box and pixture (even tried it with just a picture) on the right hand side of the header. I have formatted it so that text is wrapped around it, but when I type in the header the text runs beneath the picture and doesn't wrap. Can you do this in a header? Any suggestions? |
