Re: Word 2000, picture behind text print issue

Many of us are able to place a picture behind text and print it, but some
printer drivers may cause problems such as you experienced. There is a
Compatibility Option to "Print body text before header/footer" which might
affect the results.

Word 2000, SP3, in the document the picture appears behind the text as
expected. In the print preview it still appears normal.

When printing to a brother hl-5250dn printer, the text vanishes and the
picture prevails for that printed page.

This is sort of like talking (mumbling) to myself. I found the answer to
my
original question. It seems that placing the picture into a text box
first,
solves this problem.

It sure gets frustrating when the documantation and books state that you
can
do something (place a picture behind text) when in fact it doesn't work
during printing. I guess it is asking to much for book writers and help
file
creators to actually test something before declaring it true.

I only found this due to previous posts where it was mentioned that text
boxes are a form of layers.

Self, thanks for all your help.
