Ughfuck, I have to do this for another Binder Cover - I think I will go with the watermark method since the design is the "background" and they will need to type over the cover art. Grrr- just paste it into the header and lock it downmonospaced
- will try this nowcanoe

I always place PNGs instead of JPGs, as JPGs tend to bloat up Word documents after being resaved. I also like to do any vector graphics (logos, static type, graphics, etc) at 10x the size. So I'll design in Indesign or Illustrator, save a PDF, open it in Photoshop at size but at 720 dpi. Then flatten, trim, convert to sRGB, and change the dpi to 72dpi. This file will be very large in 'physical dimensions', but not really so big in filesize. Then save as PNG. I'll then optimize it with ImageAlpha ( http://pngmini.com/ ), which will strip out the PS bloat and halve the filesize. Then place the PNG in Word at 10% the size. This will print graphics really sharp every time. This works, I guarantee it.
