... you can put a graphic in the background, so the trick is to
create a graphic of your required text - and Draw will do that
for you. Here's how:

o In your text (Writer) document, go to Format | Page... | Background.

Thank you once again for your tireless advice and spot on instruction.

I must say that this seems like a very over involved rigamarole to go
through each time I might want to create some watermark text in a
document. Is the OOo development team likely to consider making this
process more straightforward ...?

Thanks, Gary! - that /is/ a nice alternative to the background graphic -
and leaves the Page Background free for other uses.
