would like information on creating washouts
do you mean watermarks? What version of Word are you using? In Word 2000 --- double click the image -- and in the Format Picture Dialog Box -- go to the Picture Tab and in the Image Control Section -- set the color to WATERMARK. You may also wish to go to the Layout Tab and set it BEHIND TEXT --- or Insert your Graphic in the first place in the Header/Footer layer of the document. (If you already have it in the main document -- cut then go to the Header/Footer Layer and paste). Either of those options will place your text on top of your image. If you don't mean watermark -- then what do you mean by washout? Kate in MN
Hi Debby, When you insert a picture then select it, when the picture toolbar appears one of the icons is for 'color'. Under the color icon, one of the four choices is 'washout' (in newer versions of Word). All that setting does is create a preset value under Format=>Picture=>Picture of 85% Brightness and 15% Contrast. You can use that preset for a 'speedy' way to 'fade out' a picture, but you can also use any manually selected value you choose. If you use the Format=>Background=>Printed Watermark choice that Kate mentioned and choose to insert a picture and check the 'washout' setting Word applies that same preset contrast & brightness value. ======= would like information on creating washouts >> -- I hope this helps you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* The Office 2003 System parts explained http://www.**--****.com/
1.Watermark is too light in washout and too dark without washout
Is there a way of changing the intensity of color in a picture used for a watermark?
When I insert a picture and check the box "washout" the gray in the picture does not show. If I do not check the box washout the picture is too bright. How can I "gradually" washout my picture so it does show the gray?
3.Watermark - Changing position and percentage of washout
How do I change the position of a watermark in Word XP? Mine is at the top of the page and that is unacceptable. Also, how do you change the percentage of washout?
4.I can't get the background washout technique to work
I'm trying to get my background in Word to work. What happens is that the picture appears for a brief second and then disappears off the page.
5.How do I edit a washout/watermark?
I have designated/formatted a clipart as a washout on one page of my Word document, behind a table. I would like to edit the washed out clipart and reposition it, but I can't because I can't gain access to it because it's behind the text. How can I gain access to the washout clipart to edit it? Initially, I was able to change the clipart into a washout by placing it in the center of the table, selecting "washout" and formatted the picture to be placed behind the text. I have Word 2003. Any help will be appreciated.
