why do my graphics disappear when I hit enter?

[Deeyon]

I'm using Word 2003 and I'm trying to create a letterhead template for work.
I'm having some issues with the graphics. I've inserted two graphics, the
company logo and a solid line separating the margin from the text. I have
saved this as a template, it works as a template in that it opens as a new
document. However, I'm having a reoccuring problem with the graphics. When I
type to the bottom of my first page and the text runs over onto a new page,
the graphics jump from page one to page two and I'm stuck with overlapping
graphics on page two for some reason. When I somehow correct that issue by
fiddling with the format options, my graphics disappear when I type anything
more than five lines on page two.

I have tried the "lock anchor" function to no avail. I have tried unclicking
"lock anchor" and instead aligning the graphics to the page/canvas/paragraph.
Nothing works! Everytime I start to type, when the text wraps from one line
to the next on page two, my graphics disappear.

Thanks a million! I'll definitely check out the link you attached.

Your graphic elements need to be in the Header/Footer "layer" of the
template. See:
