Watermark by Section

Post by Sundog »

In Word 2007 SP1, I seem unable to have different custom watermarks in section 1 and section 2. The Headers do NOT show as being linked, but when I change a custom watermark in either section, the other section watermark changes as well. The only way I seem to be able to have a difference between sections is to use DRAFT in section 2. Then section 1 does not show a watermark.

What I want is section 1 to show 1st DRAFT and section 2 to show 2nd DRAFT. It seems I need to split my document in two to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.

Word will insert the same watermark in all sections, but you can edit the text of a particular watermark after that:
- Activate the header by double-clicking in it.
- Navigate to the watermark you want to edit.
- Select it by clicking somewhere on the text.
- Activate the Format tab of the ribbon.
- Click Edit Text.
See attached sample document.
