We're using PageMaker 6.5.  What do you mean by "conditional text"?

The trick is to make the image noticeable without having it be distracting
or adding confusion to the page. The confusing layout resulting on some
pages required that I reorganize a bit, but overall this approach worked the

Thanks for the tip.  Where do you position the bitmap image on the page?
What type of image do you use?  I'm not great at design.  It would be nice
to see a sample...
