print watermark on first page only
How do I print a watermark (picture) on just the first page of my document?
The margins also change for the second page on. Word gives me the option to either have it or not, doesn't give me a choice as to what pages I want it on. |

Hi Lisa-
This is not difficult to do, but may vary a little depending on which version of Word & how the watermark was actually created. Please post back with more details |:) "LisaLev" wrote: How do I print a watermark (picture) on just the first page of my document? The margins also change for the second page on.

We're using Word 2003. I did format, background, printed watermark, and
inserted a jpg picture. The "picture" is our letterhead - a band at the top and bottom.

Although this can be done using Format | Background | Printed Watermark, it
would be much easier to do manually. Regardless of how you do it, you'll need to enable the "Different first page" setting to get a First Page Header; easiest thing from there is just to insert the picture in the First Page Header, set to Behind Text wrapping.

Different first page is selected, and that works for page 2. Then I'm typing
along - type, type, type, and page 3 comes, and there's the watermark again. So at the end of page 2, I have to go to File, page setup, Layout, make sure that new Page is selected, and then click on "from this point forward" in Apply To. The watermark on the next page disappears, but then it pops up again when I get to the next page. It works, but is a pain in the butt. Since our letterhead is a full-page graphic, top and bottom, I've asked our marketing director to split it up so that I can put them in the header/footer. "Suzanne S.

1) You can put a full-page graphic in a header or footer, just make sure you
don't have text wrapping. 2) When you say apply from this point forward, you are telling Word to start a new section. That will usually carry with it the headers and footers from the previous section. Each section starts with its own separate first page so a document with multiple sections will have multiple first pages for purposes of headers and footers (and sometimes page numbering). You do _not_ want to be inserting section breaks willy-nilly in a document. They are useful but they also can cause all sorts of problems and mysteries, even if they don't corrupt the document. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm. Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

The idea of "Different first page" is to allow you to have one watermark or
logo or chunk of text or whatever on the first page and a different one on *all* the remaining pages. For a letter, this would be the expected thing: you have a letterhead on the first page and then a "second sheet" letterhead (or just a page number or whatever) on the remaining sheets. What exactly is it that you are trying to do? -- Suzanne S.

I think that is what the OP is trying to do, but additional section breaks
are being inserted, probably without a new page, by attempts to make it from this point forward. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
