Thank you for the reply. I could not succeed to get the existing graphic to anchor inside the 
header and after lots of attempts, I gave up. I remade the graphic inside the header and even that 
had its problems. If I slipped slightly outside the header space, the graphic would reanchor to the 
body paragraph.

I eventually got there and did the footer too so all is working nicely.
