You probably have the picture in the wrong layout and it's inside your
header, Colin

Go into header/footer view and click on the picture.  If it has black
boxes around it and it's inside the dotted header box, that means it's
inline with text.  Right click on it and go to Format Picture...click on
the layout tab....set it to be "behind text"....now it should have
little circles around it and it's no longer inside the header box.  That
should fix it.

Linda,
 
A few days ago, you answered a query of mine at
 
//www.freelists.org/archives/mso/11-2002/fullthread167.html
 
I've only just had the time to try it, and I'm having problems.
 
I wasn't using the header/footer to display the watermark. Am I right in
recalling that this was the only way in some previous versions, but the
recommended way now in Word xp is to insert via the Format/background
command, and this offers no choice of which pages the watermark appears
in, hence my original question.
 
I've now tried it in the header, which as you say works in the sections
that I want it to, but gives another problem. So far, I have not been
able to permit the "text" part of the page to start at the normal
position, and it drops down the page and starts after the image I'm
using as the watermark, giving me a 5 or 6 inch margin.

Am I missing something out?
 
Colin
