How do I add a background image to labels? macfohioba 10.08.2006 18:36:02 I would like to add a background image or a watermark to labels. When I choose watermark, it adds the watermark to the entire page, not the individual labels. When I add the graphic and washout, then add text, it will not place the text directly on top of the graphic. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Re: How do I add a background image to labels? macfohioba 10.08.2006 23:40:02 Thanks for your response. I have tried that, however, I get a frame of white around the text, which covers the watermark/background image.
