If the headers were actually "Same as Previous," then deleting the watermark
from one would do it for all (with the reservation that each section can
have up to three separate headers/footers). Also, when you are in
header/footer view, you don't have to do anything to "hide the document
text"; it is dimmed (inactive) automatically. Moreover, once you're in the
header/footer, you don't have to "go to each section [and] open the
header/footer." You just have to use the Show Next/Show Previous buttons (as
instructed) to navigate between sections.

There are, AFAIK, over 100,000 registered Jedi in the UK

When the last census came round it was pointed out by some one that if
there were more than 100K people to any particular "religion" then it
would become an officially listed religion for the UK.......

For very many reasons a lot of people (over 100K I think) did put them
selves down as Jedi Kinghts in the space for religion :-)

BTW I do have a problem you might be able to help with...

1 I have 2 teenage boys who think the world owes them a living :-)

The world will disabuse them of that misconception soon enough. ;-)

and 2....
I have word 2003 SP2 with a 150 page document. Lots of tables some
stuff in 2 columns, mixed landscape and portrait pages. Contents pages
etc

All went well until I put in a background watermark "final draft V
1.01" Now I need to remove the watermark it only removes it on the first
14 pages . Ie just up to and including the contents page

From Chapter 1 ( a new section and new header footer and "page1") to
the
end the background watermark is still there.

No matter what I try I can't seem to remove the background watermark.
(Even loaded it on to a copy of Word 2004 MAC!) Any suggestions other
than hacking it in a hex editor?

Any help gratefully received.

Open the header area. Using the Next and Previous buttons on the
Header/Footer toolbar, visit the header of each section. Wherever you
see the watermark, select it and press Delete.

The problem is that the Format Background Printed Watermark
command knows how to _insert_ a watermark in each section, but (unless
all the headers are formatted Same As Previous) it's stupid about
removing the watermark from more than one section, so you have to do
it manually.


Hi,

thanks for the help. In the end I had to go to each section open the
header/footer, then hide the main document text, then click on the
watermark and delete from each section.


BTW most of the sections were "same as previous" but they stil had to
be deleted manually.
