I am not sure why this is so hard in Word (takes about 20 seconds on WP) but
I want to place a Watermark on only pages 1 and 2 of my multiage document.
IN WordPerfect you go to the page you want to discontinue the watermark and
select Discontinue Watermark. I do not seem to be able to do this in Word.
Please what do I need to do to apply this watermark only to the first 2
pages?

A watermark is simply piece of WordArt anchored to the header; you can work
with it as for any other graphic. Insert a section break between pages 2 and
3. Select the header for section 2. Clear the 'Same as previous' button on
the Headers and Footers toolbar. Delete the watermark in that section.

Okay

Between each page is a "Section Break (Next Page)". So I went to the header
on page 3 and cleared the "Same as previous" but when I then turn off the
watermark, it turns off on all pages.

Follow the instructions I gave: activate the header in section three, select
the watermark, delete it. It's just a WordArt graphic. There's no magic
involved.
