Hello Everyone.

Our office's computers all have Word 2000 on them, and
almost all of our correspondence goes out via email.

What we want to do is have a background image on the page
which contains our logo at the top and a stylized address line
at the bottom with a light gradient between the two.

We have the image ready but are having trouble getting it to
work.

1. We tried inserting it anchored to the header as a watermark,
but it is too washed out when viewed. It's OK when printed but,
like I said, most of this correspondence goes out by email so it
isn't printed.

2. We tried inserting it anchored to the main page too, and it
looks just fine. However, every time we click on the text area,
we end up 'selecting' the image instead of the text we're trying to
type or edit.

Is there a way we can get the desired visual effect of #2 and
keep from 'selecting' the image when we click on the text portion?

Is there another method we should be using to do this?

Thanks.

I would suggest that you send out the correspondence in the form of .pdf
files. That will overcome your washed out problem.
