Watermarking only certain pages
Using Word 2007
I have a long document with many tables. I want only certain of the tables to have a "Information Only" watermark behind them. I followed the instructions in the help file and Office Online very carefully and the watermark always applies to the entire document. If I try and delete it from a section I don't want it in, it deletes from the entire document. Is there any way to accomplish this? |

Watermarking only certain pages
Watermarks you insert via the built-in functionality are WordArt graphics
anchored to the header of the document. Headers (and footers) are properties of sections. Therefore, you will need to insert section breaks (Next page) before and after the content that needs a watermark. It sounds as if you have already divided your document into sections - in that case, it is step 3 below that you are missing. The procedu 1. Insert the required sections breaks. 2. Insert the desired watermark (skip this step if watermarks have already been inserted). 3. Double-click a header to go to the header area. In the header of every section, turn off “Same as previous” (in case of Word 2003 or earlier: click the “Link to previous” icon in the “Header and Footer” toolbar (no. 5 command from the right) – in case of Word 2007: turn off the “Same as Previous” option found on the Design tab that appears when you are in the header or footer). In general, when turning off “Same as Previous”, it is a good idea to start from the end of the document and move forwards one header at a time. 4. Now the header of each section can be treated individually. Go to the header in a section where the watermark is to be removed, click the WordArt watermark to select it (shows handles). Then press Delete. Repeat for all other sections where the watermark is to be removed. Note that since the watermark is anchored to the header, the selection must be in the header in order to be able to select and remove the watermark. An alternative method: Instead of using the built-in watermark functionality for watermarks, you could create watermarks manually using WordArt and anchor the WordArt to e.g. the first paragraph in the table on the relevant page. Set the wrapping style to “Behind text”. Repeat on all pages that are to hold a watermark. If you use this method, you would not need to insert section breaks in order to handle the watermarks. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "cvlowe" wrote: Using Word 2007 I have a long document with many tables.

Watermarking only certain pages
You need to unlink the Headers in the Sections so that you can manipulate
their content independently. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
