I am working on a document that has headers and footers. It originally had a
watermark, and also is set so that the first page is different, as I don't
want the header of footer displayed. However, when I removed the watermark,
it stayed on the first page.
I have tried changing it back so the header and footer are displayed on all
pages including the first, then double checking all water marks are removed.
But as soon as I change it back to "Different first page" the water mark
reappears.
I tried cutting and pasting the first page into a different document. The
watermark disappears, but when you paste back into the original document, the
watermark reappears.
I tried cutting and pasting the whole document but the watermark copies and
pastes as well.
Why has this happened and what can I do about it?

Did you open both the first and subsequent page headers and delete it from
both?

The watermark wasn't in the header. I don't think (This isn't actually my
story, its what happened to someone at my work today. I can normally figure
most of the office issues out, but this had me stumped). I will have to check
tomorrow. If it wasn't in the header, do you have any other ideas what it
might be?

If it is not in the header (which is where it should be) then it will be
inserted behind the text. In order to select a graphic inserted behind the
text you need to use the white arrow selector on the drawing toolbar.

A watermark is just a graphic anchored to the header. View | Header and
Footer and press Show Next/Show Previous till you get to the header to which
it is anchored. Select it and press Delete.
