Having read Graham Mayer's instructions, I have tried to create an address
label with a small graphic on the right. I want the addresses to be in the
centre (i.e. table/properties/cell/center) but as soon as I put the graphic
in the cell, the text moves to the top of the label. What am I doing wrong,
please?

If you have Publisher on your system, I'd suggest using it for this task.
(I've never been able to create a nice mailing label with a graphic in Word.
Publisher was designed to do projects like that.)

As JoAnn says, Publisher is easier for this task - but, if the images are
set behind text as indicated in the web page then the positioning of the
text in the label is achieved by paragraph formatting. Dare I suggest that
as you didn't manage to copy my name correctly from the web site, or the
many posts I have made in the Word groups, that you may not have read the
instructions as carefully as you thought

Sorry for mis-spelling your name, Graham. A slip of the fingers!
I think I am confusing watermarks and graphics. I guess I have to split the
cells and use one for the graphic and one for the address fields.

You can do it that way, but a watermark is essentially a graphic placed
behind the text and this is the easiest way to use it.
