Text can't overlap but objects anchored into it can.

Example
If you anchor image inside footer and the properties are \
"text:anchor-type="char"";"style:wrap="run-through"";"style:run-through="background"" \
you can drag the image inside main text area. 

Image should be drawn always behind main text but the current drawing order is \
random.

The problem is that background is bind to main text and it is not possible to draw \
something between them.

Example
Drawing order with picture behind text now:
1 picture behind text
2 page background
3 main text
Picture behind text will be hidden

Drawing order that I need: 
1 page background
2 picture behind text
3 main text

I thought that it is not relevant anymore because I and C. Boemann had some questions \
but there was no response from you.
