Hi all,

How can I insert a background image with textboxes on top. I can get the image in, but when I insert textboxes, it whites part of the image out or pushes it down. I need to place a different image on each page. I can't figure it out. Please help! Thank you!

Put your background image in the running header, so it can't get pushed
down.

View>Header and Footer ... To reach it.

Use Format>Text Box to reach the following controls:

Set your Textbox Layout to "In front of text" so you can drag it where you
want it.

Set the Text Box Colours and Lines to "No Fill" and "No Line" so it doesn't
make itself obnoxious. Or: If you want it to block out the picture under
itself, set the fill to White.

Set the Text Box "Text Box" internal margins to 0 or something close to it
to control how much of the picture the text box obscures.

Hope this helps
