Placing graphics in header, behind table containing text

In a template I use a form where the user can choose between several pictures
to use as background at the first page of a document.  At the first page I
have placed a table to control where the text is entered (also from the user
form, name of report, author and so on).  What happends is, that the picture
ends up correctly in the first page header, put the table are pushed down to
the next page.  How can I avoid this behaviour?  I have tried different
ZOrder settings (sendtoback, sendbehindtext), but this is obviously not the
right thing to do, as when I look at the properties of the picture placed in
the header, it is not marked as "Behind text".  Does ZOrder not work in
connection with tables?  Would be really happy for a nice solution...

Insert the image as behind text rather than inline or wrapping.

Thank you, but as I am quite new to these things, could you please give me a
more detailed description? I thought I was doing what you say when I used
ZOrder SendBehindText?

I don't do it using vba, just manually. (right-click on the graphic, format,
layout) The default these days is to insert graphics as in-line with text. I
don't work with graphics using macros much. Sorry I can't help more.
