MS Office help.

[Rustynuts]

Anyone have any ideas how to do this? I have some images I want to use as a background on documents, and I want them to be set as a template so I can type and print over them. They're only grey images so that's not important.

Any one help please. Bloody Office does my head in.

Add them as as watermarks. Just type watermarks into help and it will explain.

Cheers. I'll give that a go.

Yep, set them as Watermarks (you can set the darkness as well) and then save as a template file (*.DOT).

Nope, that doesn't work. MS Word (2003) decides that when I select a picture to be set as a watermark, it can only be centred right in the middle (obviously that's where Bill Gates wants it to be), I can have it as washout (which is faded) or non washout (which is slightly less faded) and I can only have one pic as a watermark.

Basically, It decides where it's going, what shade it's going to be, and there it stays. I want to be able to move 3 or 4 about until I get them where I want, then freeze them and be able to just use the whole page for inputting stuff like names addresses etc. over the top.

Set the pictures to be 'Behind Text' and this will allow you to type over them. There should also be an option for transparancy or recolour.

That's looking bloody good. Cheers.

I'll have a play and let you know.
