I am loading a watermark image into a document, which works fine.

The problem is that if I attempt to use a variable to specify the top
and left postions, I get the error, "Process stopped with invalid
callee". Here's the code

var
WaterMarkLeft : single;
WaterMarkTop : single;
WaterMarkHeight : single;
WaterMarkWidth : single;

code
WaterMarkLeft := -7;
WaterMarkTop := 31.5;
WaterMarkHeight := 678.75;
WaterMarkWidth := 455.54;

Word.ActiveDocument.Sections.Item(1).Range.Select;
Word.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView := wdSeekPrimaryHeader;
Word.Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes.AddPicture(FileName :=
BackgroundFile,
LinkToFile := false, SaveWithDocument := true).Select;

Word.Selection.ShapeRange.Height := WaterMarkHeight;
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.Width := WaterMarkWidth;
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.RelativeHorizontalPosition :=
wdRelativeVerticalPositionMargin;
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.RelativeVerticalPosition :=
wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage;

// ***** - the following line(s) create the error
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.Left := WaterMarkLeft;
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.Top := WaterMarkTop;

// ***** these lines work just fine.
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.Left := -7; //WaterMarkLeft;
Word.Selection.ShapeRange.Top := 31.5; //WaterMarkTop;

According to the VB object inspector, the fields in question are
defined as singles. Additonally, it strikes me as odd that the Height
and Width work just fine.

I'd appreciate any insight into what is going on here.
