moving graphics

[teeb]

I have used Quark for a long time but am unfamiliar with Word. I am
trying to set up letterhead and place a logo (as a tiff) on the page
under some type. I can click an insertion point at any of the tabs and
margins and Insert/Picture/From File and it does place the graphic. But
then I can't fine tune its placement. It almost seems to treat it like
text rather than a graphic that I can move around anywhere on the page.
I can move it, but it snaps it to the nearest text insertion point.
I must be missing something and would appreciate some help with this.

The well known trick for this is to place it in the page header where
it will do a better job of staying put.
Google the group for something like "logo" for the fine details.

You have to tell word to put the picture "on front of the text", that will
make it a floating object and not inline with the text. The option in on the
picture menu under "Text Wrapping". Click on text wrapping and then select
"In Front of the Text" and that will make it a floating object. Good luck.
