Saving HTML background image as watermark in Word 1

[CubeE101]

OK... I thought about posting this in VBA forum, but there are more users here, I tend to favor this forum, AND I am using VB after all... (not VBA) ;-)

With that said...

I am using XML in an aplication to populate combo boxes, data grids, etc...
Then there is more XML stuff going on behind the scenes to pick other data depending on what is selected...

Then you click a report button which does even more with XML and results in a Temporary DOM object Which is Converted to HTML with an XSLT document I made and is displayed in a New form with a Web Browser Object...

In the background, there is a water mark image...

Since the image is on our network...
I set it up to create a Word session, open the HTML file, then save it as a Doc file, to package the image in the file for external use...

Now if you are in Web View, the image is shown, but print/document view the image is hidden...

Is there a way to set the html background image to a Visible Water Mark when printed from the Word Doc file...?

To print the watermark it must be inserted into the header or footer (Word 2000).

OK...

So now I can Open the Document...
Documents.Open ...
Access the header:
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
Add the image:
Dim x As InlineShape
Set x = Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(FileName:="C:\test.jpg", LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True)

...

Then Restore the Main Document View...
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument

But now how do you programatically Set the Text Wrapping for the picture to Behind Text, and Center the Image on the document?

Thanks for the Header Tip... It's been years since I placed a watermark in word (I believe it was with 97 ;-))
