You could anchor them to the header. This will work for a single-page
publication or for a multi-page publication that requires the same objects
on every page. If you want them only on the first page of a multi-page
document, check the box for "Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page
Setup and anchor them to the First Page Header.

Thanks,

I have Word 2003. I found the watermark feature under Format | Background
|
Printed Watemark.

Another question; I have a Word document file that I use regularly as a
template for a publication. It is setup as an A4 size landcscape page
divided into two columns. In the second column I have a drawing object
which
is a group of text boxes and images etc. The first column is blank ready
to
enter content as needed. The problem is any content in the second column;
ie
the drawing object, moves whenever I enter content in the first column. Is
it possible to fix a drawing object permanently to it's location?

Thank you,

Martin F.

Well, it's not a true watermark (which is part of the paper) but it is
possible to get lightly-shaded image or text to print on every page
without
hampering ability to read the main text (e.g. Big gray DRAFT in the
background). Can't be exact w/o knowing your version, but you probably
have
an Insert | Watermark command. Otherwise, drop 'watermark' into Help
and
it
should spit out some directions.
