Microsoft XP, I am trying to place a watermark on an individual page
in a manual, and not the entire document. I am creating a manual and
there are several sample pages.
A watermark is nothing more than a floating picture (or WordArt) placed in
the "Behind Text" layer, and usually reduced in contrast so it doesn't
overwhelm the text.
If you use the built-in Watermark command, it automatically anchors the
picture in the header. That causes it to repeat on every page that header
applies to. If you ignore the command and "do it yourself", you can anchor
the watermark in the text instead of the header so it won't repeat on any
other page.
The simplest way to get what you want is to use the built-in watermark tool
to get the picture or text you want; then select the watermark and cut it to
the clipboard. Close the header pane, click in the regular text on the
sample page, and paste. The watermark will appear. If it isn't quite in the
right position, just drag it where you want it. (If you have trouble
selecting it, display the Drawing toolbar and click the white arrow -- the
Select Objects tool -- next to the Draw button.)
