Default Watermarks

Another way to use a "watermark" is to place a graphic, Word Art,
drawing object, etc. on your page and set the text wrapping properties
so that it is Behind Text. Note that Word's Color/Washout tool is on
the Picture toolbar and will not work with Word Art or drawing
objects.
The advantage of this method is that you can place as many as you
like, anywhere you like without concern for section breaks.
The disadvantage is that you cannot have them repeat like you can with
Suzanne's header/footer option (which is obviously beneficial if you
have many pages).

A watermark is nothing more or less than a washed-out graphic anchored to
the page header. You can have as many watermarks as you like, but you'll
need to have them in separate sections or at least in separate headers. You
can have up to three headers per section (First Page, Even Page, Odd Page);
beyond that, you'll need section breaks. Seehttp://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm

Can I use multiple watermarks per document? If so, please explain. I have
blank pages and pages with "Draft" but I would like to include some pages
marked "Sample". Thank you.
