Default [solved] Word 2003. Is there a reason I can't put images in the footer?

Hi all.

I know this is basic and I have searched the forum for similar questions, but I want a series of four logos on the bottom of the first page of my letters. There is also a small amount of text to go above the logo's which is an address and web adresses. This is currently in a small text box with no fill to the line or background.



OK, obviously I should use a footer. Set it to 'first page only' and design the content.

If I try to insert an image in the dotted line footer box it appears ABOVE the box. A second and third image also appears above the box. I can align them neatly along the top of the box, but if I type any text in it, the box rises up, pushing the images up into the document body.

OK, leave the images above an empty footer box. Put the address in it's text box above the images. This works, sort of. I seem to have a footer on the one page, but the body text now overwrites the new footer because it comes all the way down to the top of the footer box, which is at it's smallest. IYSWIM! Also the footer box is still taking up a little space pushing the images slightly higher than the bottom margin of the page.

What next? Adjust the page margins? Won't it effect the entire document? As I said, this should be easy and is for those who do this often. Where am I going wrong please?.

Mike.

I've made some progress by editing the image properties of the logo's but I'm not there yet.
  • Right click on logo, Format picture.
  • Layout tab.
  • Advanced button.
  • Picture position tab, change to
    • Vertical
    • Alignment
    • Bottom relative to page.
This puts the image behind the footer box at the bottom of the page, but now it's outside the printable area and the bottom 6mm of the logo's are missing.

I can put my address text into the footer box and this will now raise up and push the bottom of the body text up and over the footer.

More experimentation to come, but is this the 'correct' way?

Mike

I've bodged it. I adjusted the properties of the images so that they hang 269 mm down from the top of the page. My address text etc is in the footer box with spaces underneath to raise the text up just above the pictures.

Is this a normal way to do this? Whatever, it works so now I'll try to mark this thread solved.
