[Buckaroo8]

Hi All,
How/Can you insert a watermark graphic into a CR 8.5 report?

Thanks for all help!

Insert a section into the report by right clicking the section where you want the watermark, place the graphic in the section A, riught click the section A and select Overlay following section, and place your data in the section b.

Dear Buckaroo,

Sure can!

The way you do this is to insert a new section for page header, insert the graphic, and underlay following sections.

Insert an appropriate graphic for use as a watermark (it should be very light in color or it will be hard to read the text) in Page Header A section.

Right click the gray area where it says page header a (or PH A depending on settings) and select format section. In the options on the right, check underlay following sections.

Your graphic will now show on each page. Make sure that you select the graphic .

Regards,

Just to add in my $0.02, if you are using and lines or boxes, they will end up behind the watermark. There is no way to bring them forward.

If you need lines or boxes, you can accomplish this by adding a text object instead, and using the borders to simulate lines.
