Watermark can't be deleted

[thoughtcat]

I have a document with a "DRAFT" watermark across every page which I
need to get rid of. Going into format/background/printed watermark and
selecting "no watermark" doesn't remove it - in fact, if you select a
new watermark it overlays the new one over the old DRAFT one, so the
DRAFT watermark seems to be permanently embedded in the document.

Copying the whole document and pasting it into a new document doesn't
solve it either as this also brings with it the DRAFT watermark.

There are lots of reviewers' comments & changes in the document and the
only way of actually getting rid of the watermark from all pages in one
go is to "reject all changes", but this would be a disaster. (Using
"accept all changes" instead doesn't do it.)

Help!

Thanks

Click on View | Header and Footer and delete the watermark from there.
That should solve your problem. Please post back here if it doesn't.
