MS Office Legal and Corporate - They Want The Watermark To Appear In One Particular Section…


Scenario:  Received a call.  The document has a cover page followed by a two page letter.  The attorney only wants the Watermark on pages 2 and 3 but not the cover.  When the secretary went to the Design Tab and Inserted her “DRAFT” watermark it displayed on all three pages. The question becomes how do we implement a watermark on a particular section.

  1. At the bottom of page 1 insert a Section Break “Next Page” type break instead of a plain Page Break.  You will find the Sections under your “Layout” Tab in 2016 and above and Page Layout in Version 7, 10 and 13.

  1. On Page 2, (which is Section 2), open up your Header and immediately turn off Link To Previous.  This will prevent your watermark from appearing on page 1 which resides in Section 1.

  1.  Design Tab:  Right Side.  Apply the watermark to this open header which is the section in which you want it to appear.  Once the Watermark comes in such as DRAFT OR CONFIDENTIAL, close the Header using the button on the right of your Header Ribbon.

The Watermark should now only appear on page 2 and 3 of your document which makes up Section 2.  If you right click on the very bottom of your screen, where it shows your Page Number that is your “Status Line”  and the Status Line Menu will come up. Make sure that “Section” is checked and within any document, you will always know what section of the document your cursor is presently in.

If you have a scenario where you only have 1 section, and you need the watermark on a particular page or pages, you can resort to inserting a Text Box.

  1. Bring in a Text Box under Insert.  Size the box.  Type in the watermark material, size the font to your liking, change the font color to light gray.
  2. Make sure that the text box has no line (border), and no fill.
  3. Turn the text box on a 45 degree angle.
  4. Finally, align the text box with your watermark material “behind the text”.

You now have two ways in which you can deal with the above situation.

Removing My Continuous Section Breaks Is now Destroying My Next Page Section Breaks A lot of you will appreciate this particular write-up.  At one time or another, you have had this happen. I don't believe this is a basic or advanced thing.  This is just one of the many things that can drive you crazy. Scenario :   You run an Index of Terms and realize that you have placed your cursor in the wrong location and now you have an Index of Terms in an unintended location.  You already had saved the document, so you can't undo it.  As you know, a completed Index of Terms is surrounded by two "Continuous Section Breaks".   Note :  Normally, if the Index of Terms is generated in the proper place, the Continuous Breaks cause No Harm.   Now the fun begins.   1.  As you attempt to remove the Continuous Section Breaks, they then eat up the previous " Next Page " type Section Break and befor...

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch!

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch! Scenario : An attorney brings to you a document that is composed of hand written pages, typed up pages that will be inserts, some of the typed up pages have document numbers where you can grab the material without having to type the insert related material.   The attorney has asked you to please create a TOC, TOA and Index of Terms page.  You are also informed that there will be an Exhibit A and B in the back of the documen t.  So knowing this info upfront, how do we go about segmenting the document into its proper sections? Of course we need a cover page.  Most probably it will need a border and will be centered vertically on the screen.  Therefore we need a Section Break “Next Page ” after our cover page. For our TOC, TOA and Index Pages, we need a page break after the TOC, a page break after the TOA and a Section Break “Next Page” after the Index of Terms page.  This second section will ...
