faded headers & footers

[Quark User in MSWord]

I'm a Designer working in Word and I'm about to hang myself!!! Please help!
Is there's another way to truly anchor graphics on a page so that they DO
NOT MOVE other than to use the footer? The problem with the footer is that
Word insists on fading back, or ghosting the graphics I've imported into it.
"It is unacceptable for our logos to look gray and weak", says our CEO, "to a
prospective client receiving this document." If there's no solution, what
other Office products might work well for building proposal/bids/estimates,
etc.?
Please, please someone tell me that there's as easy solution! Thanks!!!

No, headers and footers are always dimmed when the insertion point is in the
main document and vice versa. If you must send documents electronically,
send them as PDFs.

In word 2002,
- right click on the object
- format picture
- select the Layout tab
- change wrapping to "infront of Text"
- select Advanced and select Lock Anchor and uncheck "move with text"

If you send things out as pdfs the headers and footers will be the same. The
thing is that Word is designed to produce paper documents. It isn't designed
to produce electronic messages. The PDF format mimics the printed result.
Otherwise, publisher gives great layout results, but isn't designed for word
processing (producing ordinary printed one-of documents).

Does anyone know how to have the logo in the header not look gray and weak?

View it in Print Preview. Or create a PDF.

I have the same problem. Converting to pdf retains the same faded effects.
Surely there must be a way to either turn off the graying effect or to darken
the graying effect, isn't there?

A pdf will display the header/footer as if in a printed document. Note, this
creates a new computer file which must be viewed with a pdf viewer; it does
not change the view in Word.
