A watermark is simply a graphic inserted in the header and set with its
layout property to 'behind text'. If you combine graphics on the page that
use the same space then clearly one of them will be in the foreground and
one in the background, obscuring the other. jpg formats do not have
transparency.
One possibility with a *text* watermark is to insert the graphics in the
header of the page. You can do this either with section breaks or with a
conditional field eg {IF{Page} = 2 "Put the graphic here"}. The graphic must
have a wrap option set or it will be affected by the text on the page and
you need to set the relative orders of the watermark and image so that the
watermark prints over the graphic. Similarly, you could cut the text
watermark from the header view and place it separately in the main document
on each page, over the graphic, whichever gives the closest results to what
you require.

I am using Word 2007. Is there any way to get a watermark to show up
on top of a document? I have several pages that contain inserted
images with captions, but the watermark is almost completely covered
up by the images. Perhaps there is a "bring to front" for watermarks?
Thank you for your time.
