TITLE:    Creating Watermarks (Enhancement)
PRODUCT:  WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS


Enhancement
You can now print graphics and text on the background of a page
using the new Watermark feature of WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS.


Concept
A watermark is a shaded graphic or shaded text placed behind a
printed document.  It is a generic page format which prints on
every page, such as a header or footer, though it can be printed
anywhere on the page.  For example, the word COPY could be
printed diagonally across the width of the page in a very light
shade to indicate that a document is a copy rather than an
original.

Watermarks are specified as A or B to help you tell them apart. 
There is no difference between Watermark A or Watermark B.  You
can, therefore, create Watermark B before you create Watermark A. 
You can have several Watermark As and Watermark Bs in a document,
but you can only have two watermarks active on any given page. 
You can have them appear on alternating pages.  You can also
suppress a watermark for several pages.

A watermark is stored as a graphic image, so you can edit a
watermark.  Refer to Graphics: Editing the Box Appearance in the
WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS reference manual for information on
editing the watermark graphics box.

A watermark does not display in the document window regardless of
the viewing mode you are in.  To see the watermark, use Print
Preview or print the document.

1    Choose Header/Footer/Watermark from the Layout menu, or
