Default Watermark Relationship

I'm trying to add a watermark to a few sample forms in my word doc. I've
seperated them with section breaks and have then switched to print layount,
clicked in the header and inserted the watermark which appears fine. My
problem is when I do this to the next page, it removes the watermark from the
previous one. It's got to be something to do with odd and even pages but
can't see where to amend the relationship. The pages I want to put the
watermark on are 29, 31, 33 & 34 (I've linked these two headers) & 36.

Can anybody help me out?!

Default Watermark Relationship

Under the covers, a watermark is just a picture or WordArt object anchored
in a header. The code that runs from the Watermark dialog, though, has a
wrinkle: If it finds a watermark already in the document, it deletes the
existing one.

Instead of using the dialog a second or third time, just copy the first
watermark and paste it into the headers of the remaining places where it
belongs. Of course, you do have to turn off (or on) the Link To Previous
settings of the sections properly beforehand, but it sounds like you know
about that.
