I would like to insert a text watermark on only a couple of pages within a
multi-page document. Pages preceeding and following those selected pages
should not have the watermark. Thank you in advance.

Create the watermark as a WordArt object anchored to a paragraph on the page
and sent Behind Text. Given the difficulty of getting a WordArt object to
have just the right formatting for a watermark, I would suggest that you
first use the Format | Background | Printed Watermark feature to insert the
desired watermark, then open the document header, select and copy the
watermark, delete it, and then paste it on the pages where you need it.
