Where to find instructions for creating a watermark
You can also put an anchored frame on the master page and make the anchor conditional. This will make it a bit easier to show or hide the watermark. -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor U&I Learning nv (formerly ATeK nv) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com

RE: Where to find instructions for creating a watermark
I put an unanchored text frame on each of my master pages, rotated at 45 degrees, using a paragraph tag I call "Watermark". This paragraph tag uses the FM color "LtGray", which I have defined as RGB 90%-90%-90%. I then insert a variable I call "Watermark" with the text I want (in my case, it's "CONFIDENTIAL"). I use Leximation's BookVars FM plug-in, with which I can set the variables for all the files in a book from one text file.

Where to find instructions for creating a watermark
If you want to do it in Frame, the strategy would be to create a Master page(s) with either a background text frame with DRAFT in it or a graphic with the text. (see Master page / background objects in help) Applying it gets a little tricky. If you have a master template that you can apply to all the books, you're in good shape. Make a copy of the template, modify the master pages with the text, and apply it at the book level. If you're using multiple designs and templates though, you're probably going to have to do each book manually. John's suggestion of using Conditional Text to turn it on and off has merit too. * A number of printers support this functionality. My HP, for instance, allows you to add a watermark, which may be a lot cleaner/easier solution if you can't easily update your template / master pages. I think you can also do this in PostScript if you're printing to .pdf. * And as a further aside, I add the draft information to the footer of each page with a variable instead of messing with the background at all. When the book goes final and is ready to print, the part number takes the place of the draft notice.
