Hi there I have a problem win ms word and creating pdf's ok with MS word i included a background using the following steps for ms word format,background,fill effects, picture, select picture, ok so now i have a background that i can write over and have the same background for many pages. One problems is when i turn it into a pdf file, the background dissappears and only the text lies there. But if I copy and paste pictures, they stay when I turn to PDF ????? any ideas how i can keep that background there for every page ? my next problems is im trying to create links in the document that will link to another area of the same document , that i dont know how to do. I would be great for answers to both questions . Much appreciated. Thanks in advance Michael
