Watermark picture
Is it possible to insert a picture from the web as a watermark without saving
somewhere local first? Pretty much copy it and then paste as a watermark. Thanks |

If you copy and paste, you'll be pasting a link to the server where it is
stored. If you immediately unlink it, it will be embedded in the document. But it is preferable (and easy) instead to right-click on the Web graphic and use Save Picture As to save it to your HD. This gives you three advantages: (1) if something happens to the document, you'll still have access to the picture (even if it's long gone from the Web), (2) you can easily insert it in other documents without having to copy/paste, and (3) if you like, you can link to the file on your HD, which will reduce the file size of your document (and if it's a template on which many documents will be based, this can cause considerable space savings over time. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks but the idea is to not save it to the local HD. Not to compare the
products but Wordperfect will allow you to paste as a watermark. This way you don't have every picture off that internet that you have used a a watermark taking up room on your machine.

Well, you have two choices: you can paste it directly and be able to
view/print it only when you have Internet access (and assuming that the picture stays the same and that the owner of the Web site doesn't substitute something rude when he finds that his file is being accessed repeatedly in this way) or you can unlink it, in which case it is embedded in the document. I don't believe that WordPerfect can offer any options different from those. -- Suzanne S.

I am actually a word fan but I believe in this case the competitors product
does a better job. Yes WP can paste as a watermark without saving. Insert\watermark\create then you have a blank page you right click paste and there is your watermark. I believe it is not linked either. But thanks for your help; at least I know I shouldnt spend hours trying to figure out how to do this in Word. Thanks again for your time. "Suzanne S.

I don't see how this is any different from pasting a watermark into Word.
