Removing a background watermark text in Word 2003

[Juliet Easton]

I put a background watermark (DRAFT) onto the first page of a document but
now cannot remove it. When I go into the Format > Background > Printed
watermark menu, it already says that there is no watermark, and if I click
onto either of the other two options and then back onto ‘no watermark’ and
either ‘apply’ or ‘ok’, it makes no difference.

The document was originally created in Word 2003, but it has been worked on
by numerous people and I’m not sure what versions they were using. The
watermark was put onto the document in 2003 though.

I hope somone can help. Many thanks.

It resides in Header by default so go into Header and click on handles of
graphic and "delete".

As it will be behind text, you may need to use the white selector from the
drawing toolbar in order to select it.

From the first page, View | Header and Footer. Select the watermark and
press Delete.
