Brand new installations of Office 2007 on Windows Vista. One computer is
able to start a document just fine and place a custom watermark, the other
computer has the option grayed out with only "Remove Watermark" available.
Trying to remove the watermark gets nowhere (there isn't one present). I've
renamed the Normal.Dot file to Normal.old, and Word created a new one, but
the same thing is occuring. Can anyone tell me why this is? there is a
complete inability to add a Custom Watermark with this installation. A stock
watermark can be added though.

Check that the user isn't in the "Web Layout" display mode. Every other mode
appears to allow the "Custom Watermark" command but that one.

Thanks, it appears to be working now!
