AboutJean Mornard Expertise I am happy to answer questions about formatting and layout, mail merge, tables, graphics, tracking changes, outlining, and more. I currently use Word 2007, but I can also answer many questions about Word 2003.
Experience I have worked professionally on MS Word since 1992 when v2.0 was launched. For one employer, I created several macros to address the issues of translating a document from a Sun-based desktop publisher to Word and then from Word to ASCII (a VERY specific application). I have created mail merge letters and labels, fliers and brochures, concert programs, investment company documents, large running tables, along with the more ordinary word processing documents.
Education/Credentials B.A from the University of Minnesota
Participated in several work-required training sessions on the entire MS Office Suite, the latest being on the transition between Office 2003 and Office 2007. I have also conducted training sessions on Word and Excel within my work setting.
Question Hi
I am inserting a watermark into a document and upon insertion the watermark is moving text down in the document. The document contains many tables, text boxes, pictures and different page layouts (i.e. landscape and portrait)
How can i insert a watermark without moving any text? I have tried putting in page breaks etc nothing seems to be working.
Answer Hi Ari,
Are you using the watermark function (under Page Layout) or are you inserting a picture or word art as your watermark. If you've used the watermark function, even using a picture rather than words, it shouldn't affect your text; however, if you've inserted something special just as a picture, it could cause problems. If you can click on it to select it, it's the latter. You can either delete that one and create a new watermark or you can format it so that it sits behind the text (right click on it, choose Text Wrapping, then click on Behind Text.) I hope this helps!
