Answer: Watermark moves with margins
Hi Jan Bart,
I understand that you want to lock the position of a watermark in Microsoft Word so that it stays in the same place even if you change the margins. Here's how you can do it:
Now your watermark is locked in place and won't move if you change the margins. If you need to move the watermark, you can unlock it by following the same steps and unchecking the "Lock anchor" box.

Thank you for responding, Jan Bart - Open the header pane (because watermarks are anchored to headers, so the header pane must be active to get access to the watermark). - Right-click the watermark and choose Format WordArt or Format Picture (one or the other will be on the context menu). - In the dialog, click the Layout tab, and click the Advanced button there. - Change the alignment from "centered relative to Margin" to "centered relative to Page". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Watermark moves with margins
I used this to fix the bottom margin, but it did not fix the top one. Any
other ideas? Btw, I'm using Office 2003...

Watermark moves with margins
Did you set the alignment as both horizontally and vertically centered?
