Hi,

Please refer to the last sentence of this link
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...797741033.aspx
"Note: After you send it to the back, you can no longer edit or reposition
the image."

I found that I could still reposition the image after I did "Draw|Order|Send
to back." I was so sure that the image was AT THE BACK because I could put
clipart on top of it. Wonder what was happening here.

Appreciate any advice.

that is rather strange.

The Help text is ... well ... a bit wrong on this point.

You can not edit or reposition it, once it is part of the background.

But, just placing it behind all the other images/objects (send to back) does
not lock it in any way.

I have discovered a couple of things.

(1) If the image sent to back is larger than the ones in front of it, it
can easily be manipulated.

(2) If the image is smaller than the ones in front of it, i.e. hidden, it
may be "locked." But one can use the tab key to select the hidden object.
For details, please refer to #9 of this link:-

Any feedback? Thanks.
