OK, so now I need to know which version of Word you are using, and on what
kind of computer (yeah, I assume it's a Mac ‹ I need the type of processor
and the OS Version
)
Or, if you like, you could simply get annoyed with the so-called "automatic"
tools and just understand that a "watermark" is simply a graphic set in the
header of the document.
1) Create your desired watermark in a Text Box
2) Position it where you would like to see it on the page
3) Select the whole thing and Cut it
4) Go to View>Header and Footer,
5) Paste.
For the watermark to work, it must be "floating" (i.e. It must either be in
a text box, or have a layout of anything BUT 'inline with text').
There: That's all there is to it: now you will never need to find that
stupid control again, because you know how to make one manually
Cheers
The article "Add a watermark" is basically the same as the program Help. My
problem is that the first step says to select Print Layout - I can only select
Page Layout. The next step says to select Watermark from the Insert menu - I
don't have that option available to me.
Is there some preference I need to change or something I need to turn on?
