Default Word2000: A picture as watermark in table cell

Hi

I have a Word document containing a 6x3 table. Into every 2. cell of table
is inserted a picture as watermark. I inserted some empty rows into cells
and formatted them, then inserted the picture onto sheet, dragged it into
cell, and set properties (ImageControl.Color=Watermark,
Layout.WrappingStyle="Behind Text",
PicturePosition.MoveObjectWithText=False, PicturePosition.AllowOverlap=True)
for image. Later, when I repeated all this, I also selected from dropdown
menu Order.SendToBack and/or Order.SendBehindText. After that, I copied all
contents from cell, and pasted to other cells. But this last part isn't
important - the problem arrives with single cell too.

Also my problem: When I enter some text over watermark, in print preview
looks all fine. But when sent to printer, the watermark hides the text! And
I even can't look at images properties, because after I leave Image Editor,
I can't select it anymore.

The weirdest part in all this is, that in past week I once got a table
working as needed after half a day of trying, but I didn't understand how I
did it. Seemengly I repeat all steps exactly in same way, but in vain.

Thanks in advance for your help

Default Word2000: A picture as watermark in table cell

Word 2000 had a particular problem getting images to stay behind text. It
needed convincing by applying the option, checking and applying again.

You can access the images using the pointer on the drawing toolbar.

The procedure for putting images in table cells is covered at
http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm. Note the use of autotext which
saves a lot of trouble.
