No, Word doesn't support locking images in this manner. Depending on exactly what you're doing, one of the following approaches might help: 1. Put the image behind the text (only works if text or a table is covering it) 2. Insert the image while in the header/footer view. (only useful on a one-page document, or in a one-page section, or if it's the first page of a document or section) 3. Anchor the image in a section protected as a form. (protecting a document as a form will lock out some editing tools) 4. If this is Word 2003, you can unprotect everything except the first character and paragraph mark of the paragraph to which the graphic is anchored, using the new "Read-Only" protection.

I was hesitant to use the header idea because when I did so, then looked at print preview, the image was slightly washed out. Since you suggested it though, I went ahead and printed out a copy and found out that the washout was only in the print preview. I also appreciate suggestions 3 and 4. I had thought about doing something along the lines of #3, but haven't had much experience making forms. #4 is totally new to me and looks like something that I am going to want to tinker with. Thanks again, Loren |
