How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
We are trying to add a watermark to just one or two pages of a multi-page
Word document. Is there a way to limit which pages get the watermark? We are using Word 2003. |

Place it in the header, making sure that these pages have a section break
(next page) before this page and at the bottom of this page, and turn off Link to previous. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "tlg5858" wrote in message ...

Add your watermark as a graphic behind text in the document linked to a
particular paragraph. Do _not_ put it in the header or footer if you only want it on one page. (The header/footer is the best location for a watermark normally, because normally you want it on multiple pages.) -- 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.

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
I wanted to revisit this topic because neither of the proposed solutions
worked for me. I'm using Word 2003 and need to insert a washed-out picture watermark on only the front page of my document. I've followed the directions for putting the first page in its own section and then turning off the link-to-previous attribute in the subsequent section's header. No dice. The watermark persists throughout the document. Inserting as a behind-the-text picture will work, however I then do not have the option of selecting a washed-out look. I can't believe there's not a straightforward approach for this that works. Any ideas? I'm particularly bewildered by the failure of the first approach (deselecting the link-to-previous). I followed the directions diligently and it just simply does not work, which leads me to believe that the watermark really isn't in the header after all. Does anybody have any ideas with this?

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
Making the first page into a separate section (by adding a Next Page section
break between it and page 2) will work. After turning off Same As Previous in the Section 2 header, though, you need to click on the watermark in that section and delete it (*not* by using the watermark dialog to remove it, since that will also remove it from section 1). If you insert the picture behind text but not in a header, you *do* have the option of the washed-out look. Select the picture, which should display the Picture toolbar (if not, choose it from View Toolbars). Click the Color button on the toolbar and choose Washout. You can fine-tune the effect by using the Contrast and Brightness buttons on the same toolbar. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
I just created a text box, made the text a lighter shade of gray and send the
text box into the background. Simple and worked well. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Making the first page into a separate section (by adding a Next Page section break between it and page 2) will work.

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
I used WordART to create a watermark for one page. I opened a blank page,
create the in WordArt the word VETO, sized it changed the color, set it for "behind text"; Cut and pasted into the real document on the one page...You still have the ability to modify. gl, gl "Dan" wrote: I wanted to revisit this topic because neither of the proposed solutions worked for me.

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
These instructions don't work for me. I'm pretty sure I have made sections,
however, the watermark/picture goes on every page of my document. I do not see the link to previious icon turned on. I have different pagination for the sections so I'm sure there is no link to previous. I'm using Word 2003 however my document just shows as a Word document, I don't know what level or version wrok thinks it is.

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
If you created the Sections by inserting Section Breaks, when you access the
header pane of the document and move from one header to the next, you will be able to either link or unlink the header to that of the previous section. The best way to insert a watermark into just one section of a document is to unlink the headers and then with the cursor in the Section where you want the watermark to appear, insert the watermark. It will then only appear in that Section of the document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

How do you add a watermark to only one page of a document?
Here's what worked for me: To put a picture behind the text as a watermark
or a faded picture, go to: INSERT - find a picture you want and put in document, RIGHT CLICK on the picture in the document, then FORMAT PICTURE - and in this screen there will be tabs, click on Picture Tab and in the COLOR box - click on Washout; on the LAYOUT tab - click - behind text. Works perfectly and the picture will just be on the page you want rather than the whole document. Hope this helps! "Mark G." wrote: These instructions don't work for me.
