MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / March 2008Watermarks
How do I enter a new text (as a default) in the watermark section so I don't have to type it each time I need the text?  SignatureKitkat There is no provision for adding to that list. Sorry.

There is a little workaround for custom watermarks: add a piece of wordart (graphics or text boxes work too) to the header or footer, set the text wrap, change the color or transparency, and position it anywhere on the page. Because it's tied to the header or footer you can add a different one to each section if you like. > There is no provision for adding to that list.

The user KNOWS how to create a watermark but wants to be able to make it a default in the list rather than having to change it manually.

Sorry if my response confused you, but I was trying to point out an alternative to the NO response that offers more options. Some people do not realize that there are other possibilities that can achieve similar results to Word's limited Watermark feature. That was my point. Thanks for your pleasant feedback. > So how does that make it a selectable default? I think you missed the point > of the question.
