I want to set the this picture (in Header) being in front of the body picture. (below)

Solution

Based on the research I've done, the header and footer are in a layer under the main document. There doesn't appear to be any way to put any object in the header/footer above main document text.

One possible solution is to create a unique header (e.g. "Different first page" or "Different Odd & Even Pages") or using a section break and place the large image in the header or footer. It's not an elegant solution, but it may work.

You could increase the height of the header such that your entire header image is visible or set the text wrapping of the header image to "Top and Bottom. "

This cannot be done. The body of the document will ALWAYS be in front of the header/footer layer. What could be done would be to copy the image from the header and paste it in the same location in the body. (This will need to be monitored when you edit text before that image anywhere in the document because it will be anchored to a paragraph in the body.)
