Of course, as the watermark, being a graphic instead of the text
we are used to with other word processing packages, is related to
page orientation at least two versions are required, one for
Portrait and one for Landscape. This dependency also relates to
page size ...
This presents two sets of questions, the first with regard to your
watermark Page style: - Should that page style use "Default" - or
should it perhaps be a named "Draft" page style, perhaps linked to
Default? - Should there be a series of such "Draft:<page>" styles for
the page style sizes and orientations one is likely to use as
"Draft"? - How is this handled most efficiently in a document with
multiple Page styles? - even, say, just Portrait and Landscape of
some particular size?
Personally I would define a minimum set of page styles for draft use and
keep to a minimum the number of page styles in any document that might
be "Drafted".
It's a pity that OO.o doesn't directly support water marking, but we
have to work with what we have and live in hope. ;-)
The second set of questions may boil down to one: Does NoOp's choice
of the "Watermark" Frame style, with its "Entire page" frame
position, obviate that first set of questions completely?
I can't answer that as I tend to only use frames in context, not as a
substitute for page styling. I always tend towards Occam and the
derivative, KISS. :-)
