MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / August 2004Increasing background density/intensity
I am creating letterhead that has heading information, a long list of names on the left columns and text at the bottom. I want this information to be unchangeable by accident when used by unskilled people. I intend to do this by useing the entire letterhead in image format as the background. Then the user can't change the letterhead content except, perhaps, by overprinting. My problem is that the background image when created as a picture watermark is too is washed out, even when I uncheck the Washout check box. Is there a way to get the background picture to print with its full "intensity" or "density?" Is there another way create the letterhead, which is a combination of text and graphics, in such a way that the user can't easily change it and yet can create a letter using standard formatting and page setup procedures?

The header is always dimmed when the insertion point is in the text layer (and vice versa). It will print at full intensity, as you can see from Print Preview. SignatureSuzanne S.

Unless the background is *printing* washed out, there is nothing you can do about this; as I explained in my original reply, this is just the way Word works. If you want to send an *electronic* document that looks right, you'll need to create a PDF. SignatureSuzanne S.
