Default Cannot See Watermark

Your mention that it is on the side suggests to me that perhaps those users
have white space between pages suppressed (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm). I was quite thrown when
I first discovered (through a similar experience) that hiding the white
space actually hides anything in (or anchored to) the header and footer,
even if it runs down the side of the page.

I agree I think we have a display issue - perhaps further background to the
problem is needed here. We are a firm of 40+ users of which 3 cannot see
the
watermark. The watermark is our firm name set up in our letterhead
template
running vertically down the left hand side from page 2 onwards. Our
problem
being the firm name X, X & Y has now changed to simply X X. If one of the
3
users who cannot see the watermark pull up an old letter and reuse it they
are not seeing the old firm name unless they go into edit the actual text
in
the watermark. We really do not want to make the watermark any darker for
the
sake of 3 users - your further thoughts very much appreciated.

background in part of my personal letterhead which prints fine, but is
impossible to see unless the header view is open.

As you can select the image try making it a tad darker and see if that
helps.

Yes - can select image in header - do not see the text unless editing

If you use the white arrow selector from the drawing toolbar with
the header view open and click in the area of the document where the
watermark appears, can you select an 'image' even an apparently
blank image?
