VBA Question

["Sue Ahrenhold" <SAhrenhold -at- IpdSolution -dot- com>]

I seem to have gotten myself in over my head with what I thought was going to be a simple little capture keystrokes Word macro.

We insert a Watermark onto the pages of our manuals, anchoring the graphic to the odd and even footers.  
So I turn on Record Macro, shifted the View to Header/Footer, and inserted the graphic.  When I went to position the graphic, all the advanced features were grayed out.

Oh, says I and opened the Macro and associated help.

Well, it seems that Word inserts the Pix as an InlineShape (see 1 below), and one cannot apply positional settings to Inline Shapes

(1) Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _
        "C:\ActualPathname\generic_watermark.gif" LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True

So, thinks I, I convert to a shape.  See 2 below for my attempt at this.
    
(2)    Selection.InlineShapes(1).ConvertToShape
    
But, then, how do I set the Repative Position on the Page?
I tried 3, but this isn't it.

(3)   Selection.ShapeRange (1)
        .RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage
        .RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionParagraph

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
