WD2000: Document Text Moves Below Top Margin

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you insert a graphics image to be used as a watermark in the header, the header expands to accommodate the height of the image. When you close the header pane, the document text moves below the image.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Microsoft Word 2000 is using the "In line with text" wrapping style. With this wrapping style, the graphics image appears in line with the document text. Because the header appears at the top of the page, the document text is positioned below the image. If the image is large, the header area expands to accommodate the image height, and the document area begins below this point.

This behavior does not occur if the object is an AutoShape object. It does occur when you insert clip art from Clip Gallery or a graphics file stored on a disk drive.

RESOLUTION

Change the wrapping style to Behind text. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.



2. Right-click the image and click Format Picture on the shortcut menu.



3. Click the Layout tab.



4. In the Wrapping Style section, click Behind text.
   
   NOTE: You can also use the In front of text option if you don't plan to type any text in the header pane.



5. Click OK.
