The problem then is that I can't seem to move around within or select any text. Any mouse clicks within the page select the graphic, not text. It's messy having to resize the b/g picture and move it to one side every time I want to edit text. It's even messier having to put the same picture onto every page individually. OTOH using format|page|background won't fill the page, but at least I can edit the text! Incidentally, a related problem is how to have a single picture split over two adjacent pages in booklet format. But I think I may have mentioned this some months ago :-( > > More info/hints available in the Help|Openoffice.org|backgrounds Which isn't, I'm afraid, very helpful. -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
