Cannot remove printed watermark from all sections of MS Word 2002 document
using "Format"menu. Any suggestions beyond changing the ink color to white??

Hello-

It sounds like the watermark is embedded in the header/footer. Try
ViewHeaders & Footers to see if you can select & delete it there.

Good try CyberTaz but no cigar. That doesn't remove it either.

Wellll... it can only be in one of two places.

If the doc does actually have Section Breaks, make sure you are lookng at
the H/F layer for the Section where the watermark is showing up. If in
multiple sections it has to be deleted from each one.

If it is actually on the text layer (far less likely) it may be hard to
select if Behind Text has been used for Text Wrap. Try using the Select
Objects (white arrow) tool on hte Drawing Toolbar & see if you can select it
with that, then delete. It will have to be selected & deleted on each page
that it appears.

Congratulations. You have just won a cigar! Actually, I found the solution,
your item # 1, before receiving your latest post. The document does have
multiple sections, and the watermark remained embedded several sections back
in the document.

I couldn't fix the problem with your original suggestion because when I went
into the H/F layer I was trying to remove the watermark using the printed
watermark dialog box. When I went back into H/F and just manually
selected/deleted the watermark, it went away permanently.

Thanks a bunch. You were really helpful.
