Jay,
I tried doing the Format/Background/Printed Watermark route again only on a
new document. It worked just fine, must be something up with the doc I'm
using. I think it was created using a template or a wizard. Now I know I'm
not losing my mind. And thanks to you, I know how to work around it, should
this ever happen again.
Thanks
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
That should work, too. When you choose Picture in the Watermark dialog, it
does center the picture on the page -- at least, it does for me (Word
2003) -- but it does it just by automating the steps I described. In fact,
it doesn't give me any choice to put it anywhere except centered.
The picture is anchored in the header, so you have to open the header pane
to be able to select it; then you can move it, resize it, change its
contrast, etc.

Thanks for the help Jay, I was able to use your information to get
the logo in the doc and for it to do what I needed. I was going to
the Format/Background/Printed Watermark window and not getting
anywhere. I was sure that I learned in a class that I took once that
you could center a watermark doing this, but I sure don't remember
how. Thanks again for you help in getting this done.

I am wanting to insert a Watermark into a single page document. The
picture I am using is a logo that I have on my hard drive and have
no problem inserting it into the document. My problem is that I
want it to be centered on the page, and it keeps going to the top
left of the document. I have inserted it into the doc and the
header both but can not get the logo to center on the page.
When you insert the picture, Word makes it "in-line with text" --
that is, it behaves like a single large character. Click once on the
picture, go to the Picture toolbar that appears, click the Text
Wrapping button (silhouette of a dog on a background), and select
any of the other items on the dropdown. For a watermark, Behind Text
is probably the right choice. You can also use the buttons at the
left end of the toolbar to reduce the contrast and increase the
brightness of the picture, so it doesn't obscure text that passes in
front of it.
