Strange, I can see it on screen too. > It does not print > as a watermark, but as a regular image.

Yes, but as I understand it, you have to create the background graphic exactly as you wish to see it as a watermark. When I needed one, I used OOo Draw to get the text in place, exported as a png, and then used the Gimp to fade it to get the graphic I actually needed. There may be better ways, in which case, I would like to know. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
