Help: Programmed bookmark not appearing in Word

E

ER

I'm hoping somebody can sugest a solution to this problem.
I have 2 macro's (assigned to buttons)that insert
watermark text (either DRAFT or COPY). Run into problem
where a user does not have the watermark visible when run
macro. What happpens is a hidden paragraph mark gets
inserted at top of document (it's greyed out) but no
watermark appears. If user clicks in header/footer area,
the watermark will then appear. If this user opens a
document that another user has placed this watermark in,
the affected user will not see it and not know about its
presence. In both cases, the affected user's printed copy
will print with the watermark on it.
I have racked my brain trying to solve this one.. checked
their normal and other template files, replaced these
files with known copies that macro worked on,checked all
their Word settings to make sure they were correct,
repaired and re-installeed Office and same result exists
for this user. Can anybody give me any suggestion as to
what might be causing this and how to fix it?

show hidden text and examine their header. If inserting into a hidden
range you will be hidden too

This had no effect. Still only shows when they click into
the header and footer section of document.

have they set an option to not show pictures (show placeholders) or
similar?

show and not set tom show) and the watermark text still
will not appear on screen.
