Alternate Background in Section Break

[Guest]

Using Word 2003 in Win XP Pro -

Any way to change a Format/Background/Printed Watermark/Picture Watermark to
No Watermark within a Page/Section Break going forward? Apparently
Watermarks are Section Break independent because removing same in one
Section also removes the Watermark throughout the entire document.

Thanks.

Be aware that a watermark object (picture or text) is
anchored in the Header area.


A general answer would be:


1. Make sure that you use section breaks to separate
the sets of pages that require differing Watermarks
(including sections with NO watermark).


2. Insert the Watermark you would like for any section
- initially it will be the same throughout the document.


3. Double-click, and modify, the Headers so that each
section does NOT have 'Same as previous'.


4. Move to the (in your case) first section, double-click its
Header - you will now be able to 'select' the watermark
with a single (Left-)click.


5. Delete the Watermark (OR Right-click, choose 'Edit ...'
and modify the Watermark for that section).


6. Repeat for the other sections until you have whatever
Watermark you want (including NO Watermark) in each
section.

This works great for Watermarks. Is there any way to do a similar
thing for Backgrounds?

Thanks!
