Watermarks

[Jay]

I want to make a title page that has a graphic as a watermark. I followed
the instructions form word and put the picture in the header but I can't
centre the picture in the middle of the page. THe header only goes down the
page to a certain point. I hit enter to move the picture down but at a
certain point, the header box stops expanding down and the picture just
disappears. ARGH! How can I centre the watermark graphic? If possible, I
would actually like to move the graphic a little below centre so I can put
the title words in the first 1/3 of the page.

Many Thanks,
Jay

You need to change the graphic from In Line to any other setting (such as In
Front) and you can then drag it anywhere on the page.

Sorry for my ignorance, how do you do that?

ok wait, i tried that but it's not working right. I can move around the
picture but the picture is blank...you know what I mean? I move it a little
bit down but I am only moving a big white block so when I set it down on the
page nothing appears.

That sounds like it may be a graphics driver problem. Try moving it to the
middle, save and close the document and Word. Then restart and see if the
graphic has moved and is viewable.

If not, please tell us something about the graphic and how you are inserting
it in the Header.
