Saving Custom Building Block
Ross from Orlando <rpayne4[ at ]cfl.rr.com> 12/16/2008 2:08:09 AM
In a Word 2007 document, I created a custom watermark. Simple enough.
But I'd like to save it to use again in a particular template, and
have it appear in the drop down when you click "Watermark" on the Page
Layout tab (I think this is called a "gallery"). Anyone know how?
Thanks,

Ross

Ross,

Select your watermark, click on that "Watermark" control you mention and
click the command at the bottom "Save Selection to Watermark Gallery.

Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean by "select your watermark."
When I create it, it does not appear in the gallery and the command
that you refer to (Save Selection . . .) is grayed out.

When you create it then it should appear in the document where you created
it. Select it in the document. Watermarks are part of the header story
range so click in the header and then click on the watermark.
