Microsoft Word - Need footer to show on top of picture 1

Auger282, What version of Word are you using?
My Word 2000 has Format > Background > Fill Effects > Picture tab but no Configure Picture.
When I insert a picture using the above, it switches my view from Print Layout to Web Layout and displays the picture on screen (although tiled instead of filling the screen). When I switch to Print Layout or Print Preview, the picture disappears. More importantly, when I print the document, the page number (Footer) prints, but not the picture.

[/sub]Hi, Skip,
I had already tested using Format Picture > Layout tab > Behind Text. Did not work--picture still printed over the page number (Footer). The only thing that worked for me in Word 2000 was what I mentioned in my first post:

I was just curious as to what version of Word was being used in Auger282's instructions.

funny? mine prints OK in 2000???
caveat: I had to TWICE set the behind text property before it worked! It seemed to regress to in front of text after I inserted the page number fields.

I tried all of the above and non of them worked properly. I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003.
Remember, the graphic is 8.5 by 11 and must be perfectly aligned on the page to cover the whole page.
Whenever I could get the page numbers in the footer to show on top of the graphic, I was unable to properly position the graphic.
I finally gave up and used Adobe Pagemaker.
Thanks for all of your suggestions!

The essential steps...
1. Insert your [Page] field and other text in the header or footer.
2. Insert the PIC in the header or footer. Size to page.
3. Format the PIC LAYOUT - Behind Text.
If necessary, repeat step 3.

[/sub]I bow before the master (Skip) whose speed in sending replies exceeds my clumsy fingers. However, that is not what I did.
I did:
1. Inserted the image using Format > Background > Print watermark.
2. Fiddled with the sizing until it fitted the whole page.
3. Selected OK.
4. View > Header and Footer.
5. Typed in my text. This was: "Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}
In other words, no, I did NOT put the image into the header/footer itself as Skip did. Maybe 2003 is that much different - don't know. But I also do not have a Configure photo. But I do have (with Printed Watermark a "Scale" field.
