I have seen similar maps in MI. However, you will have to do all of your work in the map window (graphics included) to export to word using the "drag map window" OLE tool. Clearly this is not easiest way to build a map, but it works. At least you know you can keep your watermarks below your boundary layer. If someone knows a method of exporting the layout window to Word I would like to know of it. -- Harold Feinberg -----Original Message----- From: Vinesh Govind [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 7:13 AM To: MapInfo Lists (E-mail) Subject: MI-L Watermarks for my Layout This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. Users I have posted this question to the group before but unfortunately, I either didn't explain myself clearly or the responses that I did receive were not much help. So here goes again......... I have a layout with three frames. 1. a map of a district 2. an empty frame that covers my entire map and that serves as a border (fill pattern :none) 3. text objects that are spread across my map (1) and that are to serve as watermarks I am trying to create watermarks for the text objects such that the watermark is under my boundary layer and is transparent. The procedure of selecting the map (1) - send to back; then selecting the text object (3) - send to back selecting the empty frame (2) - send to back and finally clicking on the map (1) and bring to front has worked on some of my maps and not on others. I would then like to import my MapInfo layout into a word document as a bitmap. Has anyone done this before and able to point me in the right direction. Regards.
