Watermark is displaying a picture or text in light color as the background for the page. The name derives from the paper company logo that you can barely see in high quality paper. In any case, I use watermarks in two situations, one in a report cover page where the logo is displayed in very light color as background for the cover and many time s printed on Velum paper. The second case is when I need to print a message of sorts in every page, the I display a lighter tone message such as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DO NOT DUPLICATE" in a large font to cover the entire page (normally diagonal) as background on each page; the watermark has to be subtle enough as to not interfere with the normal reading of the document but bold enough to be hard to ignore. As Claudine indicated the final product has a very polished/professional/classy look. Javier,

Larry, Watermark in the page style band requires manipulating your image to be larger and almost transparent. I've not had a chance to try it but it is a compelling look, very classy looking. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence > Lustig > Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 9:06 AM > To: RBG7-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBG7-L] - RE: Printing the big black square. > > > I use gifs in the top left end corner of the page header only and I > (cross > > my fingers) have never had the problem.
