Ronaldo - 05 Nov 2007 14:13 GMT
Hi,

I need to configure a picture (or shape) so it cannot be selected and wont
move with text.

What I would really like is the image (or shape) to be something like a
stamp in some page in MS Word.

I dont want to use header/footer because I dont know in which page it will
be placed. So, my intention is to create a marco where, when I select the
image and then hit a taskbar button, the image is somehow "transformed" (or
configured) in some kind of stamp (I wont be able to select it with my mouse
nor it will move along with my text).

Was am I clear? Is there any way to accomplish that?

Sorry my poor english and thanks for any help.

Ronaldo.

This is possible, but as far as I know you have to use a complicated devious
way that involves saving the document as a RTF, then opening the RTF
document as text and modifying the RTF tags for the picture (Assuming you
can find it in the RTF stream). Finally, saving it back as a DOC file.

Doing all this by macro would be very complicated.
And even after all that, even if the picture cannot be selected, it can
still be deleted...

The main question here is "Why?"... I mean, why do you want to do this?

Salut!
