background image on master page

Question

marketing wants me to put a background image on all pages of our manual (a light swoosh on top and bottom of each page).

i importing the image onto the master page. it comes in with an anchored frame.

but the image does not appear on the body pages.

i added some text to the footer so i know that it is using the right master page.

any ideas ?

thanks

This is one of the few situations where it's better to copy in a file than import by reference (IMHO).

When you do File > Import, there are two check boxes at the bottom of the dialog box for Import by Reference and Copy.

Delete your anchored frames. Put the cursor outside all the text boxes and import the file again, this time specifying by Copy. Drag it and drop it where you want it. If it overlaps the header / footer text, set the Runaround property so it doesn't obscure text.
