| 119478 | 2003-02-28 19:25:00 | Hi Misty, I have just gone & had a play around in my Word. I have 2002. Since you have managed to do "sample only" if you save it as a .dot before putting any text over the top that will/ should give you a template to work off whenever you need to use it. Hope that makes some sort of sense for you. Pauline. |

| 119479 | 2003-02-28 23:26:00 | Hi Misty I think that because everyone installs Word with differing options and on different O/S’s it becomes quite hard to offer help. One good thing about MS is that there is nearly always more than one way to do something. I have just successfully inserted the words “Sample Only” over an object in a Word 2000 Doc running on Win98. You can use WordArt or a Text box. The main problem is that your object with the form in it is not transparent, so it hides the watermark. 1. I placed the Text “Sample Only” in a text box. 2. I formatted the text Font, size, etc. 3. I adjusted the text colour so that it was quite pale. 4. Used Format > Text Box > Layout Tab and selected Infront of text. 5. Format the object in the same way only set it to go behind the text. Hopefully this will work for you too. oldfart |

| 119480 | 2003-03-01 00:17:00 | Thanks Pauline and oldfart - I may well have to do some more of these and will keep your ideas in mind to use. Setting up a template seems so obvious now - but never occured to me and maybe never would have ! :) |

| 119481 | 2003-03-01 03:07:00 | Misty I have Word 97 and have done some messing about with this. Check it out. 1. Left click ‘Insert WordArt’ from drawing tool bar or go – insert – picture – WordArt from dropdown menu. 2. Click on style required and go OK 3. Type text as required, adjust font, size etc and go OK. You should now have some outlined text on your document. 4. Left click on one of the letters and the WordArt toolbar should appear or right click a clear space on the word toolbar and click on WordArt toolbar. 5. Go to Format WordArt and change the line to no line and the fill to a pale grey (or any other colour or use more colours) and tick the semi-transparent box. Click ok. You should now have the grey text you want for your watermark 6. If the watermark keeps splitting the text on the document then go to - Format WordArt – wrapping and click ‘NONE’. This will bring the document text back together. 7. Here a trick. Left click to highlight your watermark and on your drawing toolbar click on Free Rotate. This will allow you to rotate the WordArt to any angle across the page. 8. Now right click WordArt and go copy and paste to any other document. 9. How’s that then?? Cheers Shooter |

| 119483 | 2003-03-01 04:14:00 | Hi To do what you are trying to do, Insert picture or wordart in the header footer box then edit picture, click watermark, click behind text then drag to anywhere you want in the page. If this does make sence to you I will explain step by step after I finish work at 19:00 Hope this helps. this is the way I shown whilst studying MS word. Marty |
