I have created a draft watermark in Word 2003 using the background function.
It looks great on screen, but when I try to print it only DAT or DAF or RF
prints instead of DRAFT. It puts spaces in the place of the missing letters.
I have tried single-sided and double-sided printing but neither works. I have
tried printing the same page several times and different combinations of
letters print, but never the whole word. It's a wierd one.

In the Printed Watermark dialog, clear the check box for "Semitransparent."

In the Watermark dialog, uncheck the Semitransparent option. We don't know
why that works, but it usually does.
