I want to use word 2003 built in watermark dialog box in my VBA code but I
cannot find it in "built in dialog box argument lists" .
Dialogs(wd?).show .

[Tony Jollans]

Not all dialogs can be used that way. Some have built in Word constants,
others can be reached via ID numbers if you know them. I don't think the
Watermark dialog can be used at all. You could try using

Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=4003).Exec ute

to display it.

Thanks it works but do you know how to access watermark dialogbox properties
for example : location of the text or size of the text in VBA. I'm trying to
use watermark dialog box to insert small watermarks on the buttom of the
page(not in the middle of the page). I don't want to use the old trick of
using headers or footers because its slow and also i have other things in
header and footer so somtimes it dosn't work properly.

I don't think you can do it - except perhaps with the notorious SendKeys.

There doesn't seem to be much information about exactly how watermarking in
Word 2003 works but it does use what you call the old trick of adding a
graphic to each header so you have it whether you like it or not - but
there's no reason for it to cause a problem normally. If you're doing this
in code, there's no reason why you shouldn't either add the graphics
yourself or manipulate the ones added by the dialog after they've been
added.
