If 'same as previous' is not checked, then that section has its own header,
as opposed to using the header from the previous section.

Right-click the watermark, select properties, experiment with the options on
the Layout tab and the dialog displayed if you click the Advanced button.

I was basing my diagnosis on the fact that when I open the headers in
sections 2+ the
"Same as previous" notation is gone and hence (I thought) the headers are
gone.
The watermark works just fine (is throughout the document), just the
headers are missing
in all the sections except the 1st.

I do not have experience (obviously) with watermarks, can you tell me
about "...setting it
to floating behind text".

Thanks.

It's possible you're looking in the wrong place for the problem.
Watermarks
do work in W2003. It might be that adding the watermark is not killing
the
header but simply pushing the rest of it somewhere out of sight. Try
adding
the watermark and setting it to floating behind text.

We recently upgraded from Off'97 to 2003.

When an attempt was made to add a watermark ("Draft") to a converted
document consisting
of several sections it blew away the headers on all but the 1st
section.
I found that I
could get the headers back if, after inserting the watermark, I went to
each section and
*reinstated* the "Same as Previous" notation (all the sections have a
common header).

This would be ok except that these documents have about 15 sections
each!.

We haven't tried the watermark feature on a document created in wd'03
yet
but *assume* it
will work and the problem is somehow related to the documents being
created in wd'97.

Clues?
