Watermarks not positioning correctly on the page

[JulieG]

I am using Office-XP and the new watermarking functionality is great, except I have a document where the watermark by default postions itself across the top left corner and is going off the page.

I can move it by going into Header, but I would prefer it to position properly. I think it must be to with my anchor but can't see how to stop it

Cheers
Julie

Hi, JulieG. Try this:
1. Open your normal.dot template.
2. Add a watermark.
3. Open the header.
4. Right-click on the watermark, and left-click on Format Picture | Layout | Behind Text | Advanced | Horizontal alignment: Centered relative to margin | Vertical alignment: Centered relative to margin | OK | OK.
5. Right-click the watermark, and left-click on Set Autoshape Defaults.
6. Delete the watermark, and close the header.
7. Save and close your normal.dot template.
