All,
OOo Writer (3.2.0 on Win XP Pro x64) has taken over the word "Watermark"
with something other than what I think of as a "watermark".
My question is how to get the effect I want.
I want to place a graphic on the 'paper', at the very bottom,
full-width (edge-to-edge... would bleed if the printer allowed).
I want it to appear on every page, faded to about 30%.
I want it to not interfere in any way with text or graphics
on my working page (in the text area).
Insert > Picture > from file doesn't seem to do that.
Format > Page > Background > [graphic tab] won't let me
place the imported graphic outside the page margins.
It insists on putting it UP from the bottom and IN from
the sides of the sheet of paper background. I can't
see any options or selections to get past this.
What is the procedure to impose what English speakers
would really recognize as a "watermark" and not just
"some graphic, sorta in back, inside the margins" ??
Thanks,
Kevin,
Have you tried using the "Footer" for what you describe? Under Format
-> Page -> Footer -> More there is an option to use a background graphic
in the footer region. It does not seem to allow the "bleed" that your
asking for but there may be other options that you can try.
