Need to control where watermark displays in document
I added a watermark to my document, but need to control where it displays
(i.e., what page it starts on). I did not see a way to do that in Word's Custom Watermark (Printed Watermark) dialog box. Is there a way to control this? Sandra |

Need to control where watermark displays in document
It helps to know that a watermark is just an ordinary graphic or WordArt
that's anchored in the header (http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm) and positioned in the middle of the page. So it follows the same rules as headers do, as far as which pages it appears on. For example, if you want the watermark to appear starting on page 4 of a document, you need a section break between pages 3 and 4; and you need to go into the header of section 2 (which now starts on page 4) and turn off the Same As Previous attribute for that header. Then the header -- and hence the watermark or lack of one -- can be different in section 2 than it is in section 1. Starting on page 2 is a special case: you can just check the option for "Different first page", and not have a watermark on page 1. Word has a nasty tendency, when using the watermark dialog, to force the dialog into all headers in all sections without asking. Then you have to go to sections where you don't want one, and delete the watermark. Sometimes it's easier to copy the watermark from one section (you have to open the header pane to be able to select it) and then paste it into the headers of other sections. -- 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.
