background image on first page only
How is it possible to add either a background image or watermark to the first
page only of a word template? The image is A4 sized and covers the entire page, first page text will be layered on top of the image. I have created a template for a company, they sometimes only need the one sheet of A4, which is fine, but sometimes they need 3 or 4 pages, and only require the background image/watermark on the first page of the set. Surely this simple - every day task is easy enough? I have been racking my brains for over an hour now. |

In File Page Setup layout tab, select 'Different First Page'. Add a page
break if you need to so you can see headers and footers for the first page and for follow-on pages, and then make sure your background image is anchored to the first page header, and removed from the ordinary follow-on headers. You can then delete the page break in the template - when extra pages are generated, the follow-on header format will be used automatically. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "chap" wrote in message ...
