Creating a letterhead in Microsoft Word and need to make the header and footer graphics join seamlessly. Im currently getting a separation line between the two.

I have a letterhead design with an area of color stretching from the top to the bottom of the page. No matter how hard I try to line them up, I still end up with a white space where the header ends and the footer begins, as if theres a white line border there. I really need this to flow seamlessly. Tips?

Add a page background to the entire page rather than using separate header and footer graphics?

Or just add the whole graphic to the header only, and set the image to be "behind" the text.

If it can be a picture, you can insert it as a watermark and it'll center itself on the page.

But for more control over placement, I'd just add the color to only the header, as thebazilist says. You can still have page numbers in the footer.
