Problem with Watermarks in Word 2003 Table
I wonder if anyone can help please?
I've created documents containing a table in Word in portrait mode, and by necessity, with quite a full page - 0.5cm margin top & bottom. Once I apply a watermark to the page the bottom cell of the table 'drops' to a newly inserted sheet, thus making a 3 page doc a 4 pager, and destroying the table appearance. This is irrespective of the font size of the watermark etc. Any ideas please why this is occurring and how I can get around it? |

Press Ctrl+Shift+8 to display nonprinting marks. Format the paragraph mark
(¶) immediately below the table as line spacing 1 pt, and with zero spacing before and after. That should help. If necessary, do the same with the blank paragraphs in headers and footers.

Thanks for that - the only problem is that there isn't a paragraph mark below or immediately below the table.
The bottom cell has dropped to a new page and the re is a page break, nothiong else, below it on that page. Last edited by basils57 : February 15th, 2008 at 02:32 PM. |

If I take the watermark off the page, then I can do as you suggest.
Formatting the para mark immediately below the table makes no difference and once the w/m is applied - the bottom table cell row drops. Taking the w/m off again, and doing the same with the header & footer as suggested, then this immediately drops the cell row even before adding a w/m. This seems strange (header & footer), I would have thought it would have had the opposite effect? |

Try setting the Text Wrapping for the watermark to "Behind Text".
