Watermark

[William McClary]

I have a word document that has 6 sections. I created a watermark and it
appears on the first section. I am having trouble getting the watermark to
appear on the 2-6 sections. I used the Copy and Past method of the Selection
object and this seems to work except that on the 2nd - 6th sections the
watermark drops down about an inch on each page. On the last page the
watermark is on the right edge of the document. I have word 2000 and am
writting a macro using VBA. Can anybody help me with this problem?

I have a word document that has 6 sections. I created a watermark and it

object and this seems to work except that on the 2nd - 6th sections the

watermark is on the right edge of the document. I have word 2000 and am
writting a macro using VBA.

When you use copy/paste there's always a chance that the pasted graphic will
superimpose exactly on the original, so there's a built-in "thingy" that will
move the graphic down and to the right in many applications.

My suggestion would be to check the original Shape's (your watermark is
probably a Shape object) .Top and .Left settings, and reassign these after
pasting the watermark again.
