Two graphics in header: one aligned to left margin; the other aligned to right margin

[t_linn]

I'm using MS Word 2021 for macOS. I would like to place two graphics in the header of my Word letterhead with one aligned to the left margin and the other aligned to the right margin. Seems simple enough but I can't figure out how to accomplish this. The Align menu in the Picture Format is almost completely grayed out. I can't find any other controls that allow me to assign an alignment to individual elements in the header. Is this possible?

Thank you.

Idea 1:

You put your graphics in-line with text.

Insert your left graphic, set a right-tab at the right margin and press the tab key. Insert the second graphic. Having the same vertical size will help.

Idea 2:

Create a two or three-column borderless table without borders and set up the left and right cells for your graphics.

Idea 3:

(variation on idea 1)

Set your template up in the Windows version and use Alignment Tabs set to your margins so that even if the margins are changed they will line up. (I do not know that these will work on the Mac.)

Thank you for the ideas, Charles. Alignment tabs are the type of thing I was looking for. I'll first check if they are available on the Mac.

I am pretty sure they are not available on the Mac, but, like Content Controls, they apparently work on the Mac if already in a document.

Here is a free Add-In on my site: AlignmentTabs as AutoText Add-In Template 

It should allow you to insert them on the Mac.

P.S. Here is one for the Content Controls.

Thanks again, Charles. I ended up designing a single image that combined both graphics. It required some trial and error that wouldn't have been necessary if I had been able to position the graphics independently in Word. I am a little surprised at Word's lack of sophistication in this regard, though I spend my time with Photoshop and Premiere so my expectations are probably a little too high.

You are welcome.
Word remains a word processor rather than a page layout program.
