I am using Open Office 2.0.3 Calc. I have placed a watermark with the

remove it.
Probably, Format -> Page -> Background -> Graphic
I was wondering how to do that myself.
I did Format -> Page -> Background -> Graphic -> (or color) -> File -

The image does not appear on screen, but does print.
Strange, I can see it on screen too.
It does not print
as a watermark, but as a regular image. My understanding is that a
watermark apears as a faded out image, which text can display over and
be easily read.
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.

I am guessing this is one for the development community. In the best of
worlds, you could select:
Format -> Page -> Background -> Graphic -> (or color) -> Watermark -> File -
> Browse, etc, and maybe have options for how opaque you want it.
I drilled down thru a lot of drop downs in Format -> ....... and saw
something about opacity.
I can't look right now as I am out the door. I was trying to do
something a little different than you are, as I just wanted a watermark
not including text, but which text of the document would go over.
