Hello,
I am creating a letterhead with a header that includes a color photo.
Everything goes well until I save it.
At that moment, the header becomes blurry.

P.S. I would like to attach a file as an example.

    Hello and welcome.

    It's normal!
    Preview before printing; you'll see that everything is perfect.
    And when you're working on the header, it's the body text that's blurred...

    And for the day when you want to send a file: 
     1) Go to https://www.cjoint.com/ 
     2) Click on [Browse] to select your file (max 15 MB) 
     3) Scroll down to click on the blue button [Create Cjoint link] 
     4) After a few seconds, the second page will appear, with the link in bold; right-click on it and choose "Copy link" 
     5) Go back to your discussion on CCM, and in your message, you do "Paste".

    Thank you, retired comrade, for this detailed response.
    BUT:
    1 / I have been making this kind of documents on Word for Mac for 10 years, and it's the first time I've encountered this kind of "bug".
    (And at our age, we don't particularly like new things when they disturb)
    2 / When I send the document by email, it always arrives blurry, which is obviously not the goal.

    Attached is the document; please let me know in what state it has reached you

    But don't forget the evening Tp-punch.

    Hi.

    After comforting myself with a punch made with old rum, I examined your file, and I can only confirm my statements: Your document is perfectly fine, and the image is not blurred at all when printed.

    This is not a bug at all: For over 20 years, this is how Word has worked. But usually, did you insert your logos and other images right in the body of the text itself, or already in the header?

    The document sent by email is blurred on the screen, not when printed.
    If it is only meant to be viewed on the screen, then it should not be inserted in the header.

    I’ll help myself to another one ...

      Hello,

      Yes, yes, I confirm what Raymond says! Headers and footers have always worked like this in Word. They are elements that are not at the same level as the text, and the goal is to keep these elements separate in order to know how to access them.

      Well, Raymond, are you sharing? ;))

    Thank you Raymond & M@rina.
    Now that you’re telling me this story about the separation of functions, I remember that indeed, when I composed headers, I included them in the body of the text, (which presented a number of disadvantages for the rest of the text).
    BUT
    Since these documents are mainly intended to be distributed online (email & Facebook), I’ll have to continue doing it as before.
    Too bad..... we really halt progress.
    Share the next planter well in my honor, and thank you for your responses.

      If the document is intended to be viewed on the internet, it is enough to make it a PDF. The only reason to distribute it as a Word document is if the recipient needs to edit it. In all other cases, we create a PDF, and then there are no more issues with blurriness.

    A thousand times right, M@rina, T H A N K Y O U;
    No one has the right to modify anything in this text; it is a prose piece from the management of a club to its members.
    Here is the result.
    (The table is the detail of a painting by R. Dufy called "Electricity Fairy", which will serve as a header for a VAE club)

      Impeccable ! ;)

      Especially since not everyone is supposed to have Word, and there are always incompatibilities from one version to another.
      PDF is universal!

    A new thank you to m@rina & Raymond.
    In the meantime, I've been busy eliminating a VERY annoying virus called myway, easypdfcombine, which had infested the navigation bars of Safari and Firefox.
    Good evening to both of you.
