I don't see that Bob said anything about copying and pasting. What did you
copy and paste? If you copied the entire document, including the final
paragraph mark, then of course you brought the header (and watermark) along.

That didn't work for me.
When I copied and pasted into a new document, the "draft" came with the
text.

Presumably the 'instructions' you mention are based on the
FormatBackgroundPrinted Watermark feature, which may not have been
used.

Try going to ViewHeader and Footer, select the unwanted stuff & press
Delete.

If that doesn't work the stuff may just be a text box with 'Behind Text'
wrapping applied, in which case you can use the Select Objects tool
(white
arrow on the Drawing Toolbar next to the Draw button) to select the item
&
delete it.

I am unable to remove the word "draft" that is watermarked in my Word
document in light green. The instructions to remove fill or a
watermark
in
the Word Help section do not remove it.
