... 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.
o From the drop-down menu next to As, choose Graphic.
o Click Browse... and navigate to the graphic you wish to use.
o Under Type, probably select Position.
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 ...?
There's a frame for that...

Thanks, Gary! - that /is/ a nice alternative to the background graphic -
and leaves the Page Background free for other uses.
Umm... on second look (in the morning, presumably more alert), I don't
see any indication that the "Watermark" frame is selected in your
OOoDraftDoc.odt - in fact, I don't see how the "Draft" watermark is
done, even though it's right in front of me. Could you provide pointers?
