You can always go into the header/footer of your document, draw a large text
box (covering the page) and insert graphics from the clip art included...that's what I do. Once you close out the header, your graphic will be behind your document text. If you want it like a watermark, then grayscale and lighten your object... "Dizzy Des" wrote: Does any one know where I can get Free backgrounds for word.

There's no need to use a text box to put a graphic in the header. Merely
insert the graphic, set it behind text and drag it to the size required. There should be something suitable in clip art or if not there are tons of art available on the internet. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org skmgriffin wrote: You can always go into the header/footer of your document, draw a large text box (covering the page) and insert graphics from the clip art included...that's what I do.

If the graphic is set behind text you can drag it wherever you want. The
text box is still unneccesary for this. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org skmgriffin wrote: correct, no need, but text box allows for exact placement of graphic...if that's a goal "Graham Mayor" wrote: There's no need to use a text box to put a graphic in the header.

I have already tried that ... it doesn't work ... every time that I close the
header/footer it still shows up as lighter than it was. I realize that it will print correctly ... however the colors in my logo and the background beach scene look way too light and gives the impression that I don't know anything about colors and Iam an interior decorator so the impression they will get from my documents is a big deal. Somewhere there needs to be a setting that will make the Header/Footer information normal ... not watermarked. "Suzanne S.

Somewhere there needs to be a setting that will make the Header/Footer information normal ... not watermarked. Comming late to the thread, but: there is no such setting! You could (in theory :-)) try to darken your colors appropriately so that they will look better on screen (in PrintLayout view) -- but they will then look too dark in both PrintPreview and on paper. But if you don't need your customers to actually write something into these files, then distributing them in *.doc format might not be the best option, anyway. PDF?

That's a different issue entirely. The header and footer are always dimmed
when the focus is in the document body and vice versa. This is by design. If you are sending documents to clients electronically, you will need to convert them to PDF (or at least recommend viewing in Print Preview) if you want the clients to get the desired impression. -- Suzanne S.
