I wanted to revisit this topic because neither of the proposed solutions
worked for me. I'm using Word 2003 and need to insert a washed-out picture
watermark on only the front page of my document.
I've followed the directions for putting the first page in its own section
and then turning off the link-to-previous attribute in the subsequent
section's header. No dice. The watermark persists throughout the document.
Inserting as a behind-the-text picture will work, however I then do not have
the option of selecting a washed-out look.
I can't believe there's not a straightforward approach for this that works.
Any ideas? I'm particularly bewildered by the failure of the first approach
(deselecting the link-to-previous). I followed the directions diligently and
it just simply does not work, which leads me to believe that the watermark
really isn't in the header after all.
Does anybody have any ideas with this?

Add your watermark as a graphic behind text in the document linked to a
particular paragraph. Do _not_ put it in the header or footer if you only
want it on one page. (The header/footer is the best location for a watermark
normally, because normally you want it on multiple pages.)

We are trying to add a watermark to just one or two pages of a multi-page
Word document. Is there a way to limit which pages get the watermark? We
are using Word 2003.
