Unchecking "semi-transparent" in Format > Background

A

Ann Scharpf

I had the problem with my watermark printing only some letters of the
watermark on each page and saw the instruction to uncheck "semi-transparent"
on the Format > Background page. I'd never done this since this feature was
added in 2002. (Did it the old way manually through the header.)

My question is ... Is there EVER a time you DO want to have the
"semi-transparent" checked?

Thanks.

Considering that having it checked doesn't seem to do anything other than
cause the problem you mentioned, I'd say no, I don't ever want it to be
checked.

Although I don't disagree with the sentiment Jay expressed I have found that
the setting is less of a problem with some printers than others and isn't as
prevalent if you use Horizontal - and a reasonable font size - rather than
Diagonal layout. The only "advantage" I've seen is that it allows you to
pick one of the primary colors & 'lighten' it without having to go one step
further (More Colors) to choose a specific shade.
