The watermark is anchored to the paragraph. Once you are in the header pane,
you can select the watermark directly and delete it.

I had the same problem, and everyone telling me to go to Headers and
remove
the watermark. The thing they DIDN'T say was that the header appears to
be
empty, so I remained confused. There was, however, a paragraph mark. I
just
deleted the paragraph mark, and lo and behold, the silly watermark
disappeared! I guess it was easier to see since I show all formatting
marks
in Word,

to do with watermards in the header. Can anyone help me?
