Word 97

[Guest_imported]

My VB application sends a shape to an active word document.

Is there a way to set the picture (shape) in my Word document to the back so it is behind text?

Or could someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

try something like this

yourShape.ZOrder msoSendBehindText
yourShape.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapNone

From VBA help:
