SUMMARY
This article explains how to remove an existing watermark from a document. In Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0, you can add a watermark to a document by using the Watermark macro that was included with the NEWMACRO.DOC file.

If you attempt to replace a watermark by rerunning the macro without first deleting the original watermark, the result is two watermarks on top of each other. Rerunning the macro can also create a soft page break in the middle of the page; however, this page break does not occur when you print the document.

Note: The Watermark macro must be used with a PostScript printer or a laser-compatible printer with a PostScript cartridge option.



Word version 6.0, 7.0, 97
To remove a Watermark from a Word 6.0 document:


 * 1) From the View Menu, choose Normal.
 * 2) From the Tools menu, choose Options and select the View tab.
 * 3) Select the Field Codes check box. Choose Ok.
 * 4) From the View menu, select Header and Footer.
 * 5) From the Header pane, delete the watermark information and choose the Close button.

Word version 2.x
To remove a watermark from a document, use the following steps:


 * 1) From the View menu, Choose Normal.
 * 2) From the View menu, choose Field Codes if there is no check mark beside the Field Codes command. If Field Codes is already chosen, press ESC.
 * 3) From the View menu, choose Header/Footer. Select Header and choose the OK button.
 * 4) Delete the watermark information in the header and choose the Close button.
 * 5) From the Tools menu, choose Repaginate Now.

Now you can create another watermark.

To remove the Watermark macro from a template, use the following steps:
