Hi :) I just had a quick go with this. It seems as though having a jpg image as the "Watermark" was the problem. Even when i did; Arranged to back Wrap through & "In background" The jpg still seemed to remove the colours of the table headings. I used Gimp (badly) to convert to a Png, gave it an alpha channel and (again badly) removed the white background colour. When i dragged that into the document it did allow the colours in the table-headings. So here is an Odt and a ODF Template and i added a Doc too, although i have a feeling the Doc wont work. test-v2.odt <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4091019/test-v2.odt> test-v2.ott <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4091019/test-v2.ott> test-v2.doc <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4091019/test-v2.doc> I think almost no-one will notice the slight speckling in some of the corners of the vehicles but jic i figured it might be better to have the 'original' of the png if it really does need tidying up. Also the grey-scale used seemed tooo faint so i duplicated-layer about 4 times to make it more prominent but then it looked like it was layered above the headings half-way down the left column so i pushed those columns further down the page a bit. Anyway, here is the hollowed-out Png ... test-docs-graphic-v2.png <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4091019/test-docs-graphic-v2.png> My other niggles with the document were that the tables on the left didn't start at the same height as the tables on the left so i copied the paragraph marks (end of line characters) from the left side to fix that but now any writing typed in above the column on the right would be in a huge font-size. So, hopefully that gives a few ideas for work-arounds until the bug gets fixed!
