Default macro produces error message

Hello smart Word people,
I'm trying to create a macro on a template that automatically removes the
DRAFT watermark from the document, and I want to add a button for this new
macro to the custom toolbar that already exists in the template.

Per Word online Help, I've tried Tools Macro Record New Macro, and
clicked the toolbar icon and recorded the steps for removig the watermark.

When I record the macro, the watermark disappears, as I expect it to.
However, when I later add the watermark back in to test the macro, and try to
use the button, I get a runtime error message ("the item with the specified
name wasn't found"). When I click the debug button, VB indicates the
following faulty code:
Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes("PowerPlusWaterMarkO bject2").Select.

Also, the new macro does not appear when I select Tools Macro on the menu
bar.

What's going wrong?

Ideally, I'd like a macro button that lets the user toggle between having
the DRAFT watermark turned on and off, but right now I'd just settle for a
button that works properly to turn off the draft watermark.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Kimmie B
