WD: Drawing Object Sent to Back Overwrites Header/Footer TextLast reviewed: February 2, 1998Article ID: Q106016 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSDrawing objects that you insert in the main text area of a Word for Windows document are printed over header or footer text, even if you send the drawing object to the back.
CAUSEBy design, the drawing layer in the main text area of the document lies in front of the drawing layer for the header or footer. The following diagram demonstrates how Word stacks drawings and text in each layer:
Cross Section of Word Document Layers___________________ / /| / <SURFACE OF / | / PAPER> / | / / /| Front Drawing Layer |-------------------| / | MAIN TEXT LAYER |===================| / /| Back Drawing Layer |-------------------|/ / / | | / / Front Drawing Layer |-------------------|/ / (Header/Footer) BOTTOM TEXT LAYER |===================| / Back Drawing Layer |-------------------|/ WORKAROUNDTo place a drawing behind the header or footer text, create it in the header or footer drawing layer and then send it to the back.
MORE INFORMATIONIn the diagram earlier in this article, the main text layer of a document and its drawing layers are in front of objects and text in the bottom (header/footer) layer of the document. Therefore, if you send a drawing object to the back in the main text layer, other objects and text in that layer are printed over this object. However, all the drawing objects in the main text layer overprint those in the header/footer layer.
