Increasing background density/intensity

[traderv]

I am creating letterhead that has heading information, a long list of names
on the left columns and text at the bottom. I want this information to be
unchangeable by accident when used by unskilled people. I intend to do this
by useing the entire letterhead in image format as the background. Then the
user can't change the letterhead content except, perhaps, by overprinting.

My problem is that the background image when created as a picture watermark
is too is washed out, even when I uncheck the Washout check box. Is there a
way to get the background picture to print with its full "intensity" or
"density?"

Is there another way create the letterhead, which is a combination of text
and graphics, in such a way that the user can't easily change it and yet can
create a letter using standard formatting and page setup procedures?

Thank,

v

You are doing this the correct way. The header is always dimmed when the
insertion point is in the text layer (and vice versa). It will print at full
intensity, as you can see from Print Preview.

Added comment: With the "Washout checkbox unchecked, the background is
almost dense enough, but it is still slightly washed out, too much so for my
purpose.

Yes, that's what you said in your original post. Unless the background is
*printing* washed out, there is nothing you can do about this; as I
explained in my original reply, this is just the way Word works. If you want
to send an *electronic* document that looks right, you'll need to create a
PDF.
