And if you set the transparency of the watermark text you can also see the other text/pics/etc thru it. Not very elegant, but it works. OO.o should really have a watermark application feature so it's easer to do. Word, WP, etc. all make it easy to do but OO.o makes you use a workaround like this. IMO it'd be a good issue to submit. Personally I don't do issue submits anymore. It can minimize the work too, by making it part of the styles.
