Graphic Shapes in Headers . . .

[goldste4]

Hi All,

I hope I haven't missed this in the NWP manual or forum, but is there a way to insert a graphic shape (Tools > Insert Shape > Line (or whatever)) into a header? Whenever I have tried, the anchor for the graphic seems always to be outside of the header in the main body of the text (I haven't figured out why the anchor gets attached to one paragraph rather than other), but with the graphic shape itself within the header just where I drew it. The result is that I can get the shape to appear one header but can't get it to appear in all the headers. (I thought I would try using the graphic line in a header to separate the header text from body of the main text instead of the trick with the leader tab to make a horizontal line.)

Thanks in advance,
Josh

Hi Josh- currently NWP always chooses to anchor newly drawn shapes to the main document body (to the closest paragraph). But if you really want a shape in a header/footer, you can copy-paste one from the main body to the header.

However, for your desired goal (a horizontal line in your text), I might recommend a paragraph border. Just turn off all paragraph border edges except the bottom edge, which will give you a horizontal line beneath that paragraph.

Hope this helps.

Hi Martin,
The paragraph border suggestion works great. I'll play around with the copying the line into the header to see if I can get it to work (just for the option of shadows and whatnot that the graphic line provides)—of course it would be nice if the anchor would automatically go into the header too!
Thanks,
Josh
