Dear all,

First of all, thank you for reading this question, and trying to help!

The problem is as follows: If I insert a watermark (office 2003) on my Word
document, it appears and everythis seems to be OK. When I place a drawing or
a picture, it is always on the front of the page. Is it not possible to
configure the watermark to be on the fron of the page? otherwise, if the
picture is, let's say big, the watermark is not seen.

Also, another question: how can I configure the text of the watermark? there
are some of the predefined, but if I would like to change them, how could I
do it?

Hope that you can help me solving this problem.

Best regards,

Jon

No, a watermark is going to be Behind Text. Even if you format your drawing
as Behind Text, it will still be in front of the watermark. There's no
workaround for this AFAIK except to put a copy of the watermark on top of
the picture.

In the Format | Background | Printed Watermark dialog, you can type your own
text for a text watermark. And it's just a WordArt object, anyway, so you
can access the header, click on it, and edit it any way you like.
