background image
The question is 2 fold if that is ok. Question 2 came out of trying to solve
question 1. Queestion1 €“ I am making a multi page document and I have put a background image in Word2003. When the text flows onto the next page the background image automatically appears also on the subsequent pages. This is what I want to happen. When I save it as a PDF though the background image doesnt save. I read somewhere to go to €śpage settings€ť and tick the print background image option. When I did this the background image shrunk and duplicated multiple times and the files size was massive. What am I doing wrong? Queestion2. What I did then was insert the image I was using as the background into the word doc so it was placed behind the text, so in theory a background image. But when the text overflows onto the next page the image doesnt automatically appear there. Can I make? Can I set it up as a template or style so all the pages automatically have the same image attached behind the text? Hope this makes sense. Cheers Rick |

"Backgrounds" are intended for Web pages. What you want is a "watermark."
Use Format | Background | Printed Watermark to insert your image, and it will repeat on every page *and* print to PDF. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
Is it possible to add as a watermark but for it not to be faded? Cheers Rick "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: "Backgrounds" are intended for Web pages. What you want is a "watermark."

A watermark is simply a graphic (or Word Art object which is much the same
thing) inserted into the header of a document. There is a tool provided to simplify the task, but you don't have to use it - but if you do uncheck the 'washout box' for a picture watermark or choose black instead of grey for a text watermark. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rick wrote: Hi Suzanne, Is it possible to add as a watermark but for it not to be faded?
