Images used in headers and footers are degrading when converted to
I've incorporated a corporate logo (made from a GIF) into both a header and
footer. Given that Word displays these in a faded way, I understand that the only way you can view the document with the header and footer images appearing correctly is to convert the Word document into a PDF. However, having tried this with a number of PDF packages, the GIF images keep appearing in a very degraded way. Am I doing something wrong? |

Images used in headers and footers are degrading when converted to
Hi Brislon
When you are in Word in Print Layout view (View Print Layout), then any content in headers and footers is 'faded' (not least so you can identify that it is a header or footer). You should see the non-faded version if you do File Print Preview. And, of course, you will see the non-faded version if you print on paper. So, if you use Print Preview do you see the image as you expect? If not, then there may be something wrong with the image. I suggest you go back to the application in which you created the logo and export it again. In particular, try to make the logo the same size you intend to use, and ensure that your logo does not have more than 256 colours (because a GIF can't contain more than 256 colours). Or, try to export as a JPG or PNG and see if that makes a difference. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

My experience has been that wrapped images in the header/footer appear
dimmed in Print Preview. They print correctly. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne
Ah, wrapped. Of course. I avoid wrapped images in headers like the plague, so it never occurred to me. Shauna Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Suzanne S.

Yeah, me, too, but this came up in connection with another user's
experience, and that's what we ultimately tracked it down to. Seems like I did personally experience it once, too. At the time I shrugged it off as one of those bizarre, inexplicable things that "just happen" in Word and thought no more of it (since it printed okay); I've since learned that it's consistent (albeit still a bug, I think). -- Suzanne S.
