I would like to add a watermark on all copies beyond the first
MERGESEQ, like printing "COPY" diagonally over the page.

Is that possible? I can't see anything in the field after adding the
Wordart...

Yours,

Three questions:
a. what fields are you using to insert the WordArt ( e.g. { IF { MERGESEQ }
= 1 "" "<insert the WordArt picture here>" } works OK here)
b. Where are you putting the fields?
c. what overall result are you trying to achieve (I'm not sure inserting a
WordArt picture in this way will do what you want)

To get the Word Art as a watermark you will probably have to save it
formatted as you want it and behind text and save it as an autotext entry.
You can then conditionally include the autotext entry. In fact if you insert
a text watermark, then open the header and save the inserted watermark as an
autotext you shouldn't need to worry much about Word Art. All the work is
already done for you.

That is cute. That way my mergefield looks good and controllable,
with the visible inclusion of the Autotext, like this:
{IF {MERGESEQ} > 1 {AUTOTEXT myWatermark} ""}

And I know well, where to go, if I want to change my watermark
WordArt.

Thanks,
