I don't see how this is any different from pasting a watermark into Word.

I am actually a word fan but I believe in this case the competitors

product
does a better job. Yes WP can paste as a watermark without saving.
Insert\watermark\create then you have a blank page you right click paste

and
there is your watermark. I believe it is not linked either. But thanks for
your help; at least I know I shouldnt spend hours trying to figure out

how
to do this in Word. Thanks again for your time.

Well, you have two choices: you can paste it directly and be able to
view/print it only when you have Internet access (and assuming that the
picture stays the same and that the owner of the Web site doesn't

substitute
something rude when he finds that his file is being accessed repeatedly

in
this way) or you can unlink it, in which case it is embedded in the
document. I don't believe that WordPerfect can offer any options

different
from those.

Thanks but the idea is to not save it to the local HD. Not to compare

the
products but Wordperfect will allow you to paste as a watermark. This

way
you
don't have every picture off that internet that you have used a a

watermark
taking up room on your machine.
Thanks

If you copy and paste, you'll be pasting a link to the server where

it
is
stored. If you immediately unlink it, it will be embedded in the

document.
But it is preferable (and easy) instead to right-click on the Web

graphic
and use Save Picture As to save it to your HD. This gives you three
advantages: (1) if something happens to the document, you'll still

have
access to the picture (even if it's long gone from the Web), (2) you

can
easily insert it in other documents without having to copy/paste,

and
(3) if
you like, you can link to the file on your HD, which will reduce the

file
size of your document (and if it's a template on which many

documents
will
be based, this can cause considerable space savings over time.

Is it possible to insert a picture from the web as a watermark

without
saving
somewhere local first? Pretty much copy it and then paste as a

watermark.

Thanks
