Removing a "hidden" watermark? Puzzled205 10/10/2008 6:53:00 PM I'm working with a document in Word 2003. I need to delete a watermark that I don't see in the document, but appears when I use a software program called Workshare Deltaview. In Word 2003, I have tried viewing the document in Print Layout, Normal Layout, and Print Preview, and I've tried printing the document. The watermark does not show up in Word. It does show up in the other software program. I'm really puzzled. I have tried removing the watermark from the Format | Background command, by viewing the Header/Footer, and by trying to find a WordArt image. I've tried hiding the text while viewing the Header/Footer. I've tried the View Hidden Text feature in Tools | Options. No luck on any of these. I have tried saving the document as XML and saving it back to DOC. No luck there either. I need to delete this watermark, but I need to find it first! I'm wondering if there is some way that it has been hidden as WordArt behind the text and I can't seem to select it? Has my document become corrupted? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not familiar with Workshare Deltaview, but it sounds like it is adding the watermark, so maybe you should begin your search there.

Re: Removing a "hidden" watermark? CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1[ at ]com.cast.net> 10/10/2008 7:49:00 PM Based on your description there only seems to be 2 other possibilities: 1- The watermark is being generated in whatever that other program is, or 2- You're printing from that program to a different printer which imposes a watermark of its own.
