Watermark not appearing correctly

[walker toro]

I have posted various documents on a single website for our clients to view
and print. The Word Documents were created in Word 2003 and included a large
watermark that is now causing problems when some try to view it. They say it
is there but clearly not in the correct location. I have had them change
various settings sand views, but can't seem to resolve the problem for
everyone and the watermark is an important part of the document. Do older/
other versions of Word have difficulty with watermarks? Are there any easy
fixes?

I don't think "Word" is your problem. Assuming you have the watermark
correctly placed in the header of a document you have distributed as a word
document file, then no version of Word should have difficulty with it.

If you have used a translucent graphic, then yes, older versions of Word
can't do that. If you have used HTML, then yes, HTML can't correctly
describe a watermark.

Hope this helps
