Pictures not appearing when placed behind text
Hi everyone, I'm struggling to place a picture behind the text in word 2007. To explain, I'm putting a picture onto the bottom of a letterhead. The picture has a gradient that fades as you go 1/2 way up the page. Not difficult. However,despite selecting the "Behind Text" option in the Text Wrapping menu, the picture disappears behind the text. Strangely, when I insert some footnotes, which also cover the picture, this does not happen and the picture is visible. It seems, then, that where the picture is in the margins all is okay, but as soon as it gets into the main body where you actually type--the actual column--it is completely lost. I've been at this for 5 hours now and seem no nearer to finding out what the issue is. Other Text Wrapping options seem ok, but this has me stumped. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Ray PS: whether simply choosing Insert Picture or Insert Shape/Shape Fill/Picture, the result is the same: the picture will not be visible when sent behind text. |

Does the page print correctly? If so, your issue may just be a display driver problem.

Thanks for the reply. No, the text continues to cover as a print too. I recently scrapped the file and started anew. This time I added the picture as a shape (same as before) but then simply typed in the doc. and the text did not obscure the underlying picture. This leads me to think that there was some problem with the text that I Copied and Pasted originally (I just used a random block of text to see how the page would look with writing on top of the picture). Yes, the letterhead is now okay, but I remain nonplussed how this happened in the first place.
Best, Ray |

OK, that suggests your copied text actually had some background shading (even white) applied at the paragraph level.
