word 2003 how to remove background/watermark text

[Chris Hills]

Hi

I have word 2003 SP2 with a 150 page document. Lots of tables some
stuff in 2 columns, mixed landscape and portrait pages. Contents pages
etc

All went well until I put in a background watermark "final draft V
1.01" Now I need to remove the watermark it only removes it on the first
14 pages . Ie just up to and including the contents page

From Chapter 1 ( a new section and new header footer and "page1") to the
end the background watermark is still there.

No matter what I try I can't seem to remove the background watermark.
(Even loaded it on to a copy of Word 2004 MAC!) Any suggestions other
than hacking it in a hex editor?

Any help gratefully received.

Regards
Chris

G'Day Chris,

The Watermark is a 'picture' object that is anchored in the Header.

Unless the Header(s) is/are marked 'Same as previous', you will
need to remove the Watermark from each section.

Place the Insertion point in the Section
View>Header and Footer
Click on the Watermark (to select it)
Press 'Delete'

Hi,

thanks for the help. In the end I had to go to each section open the
header/footer, then hide the main document text, then click on the
watermark and delete from each section.
