I am trying to use the water marks componement on word. The water marks are actual images that are for the full a4 size. I try to load as header but it doesnt seem to work - it wont let me do a different watermark on each page it just copys to the next page even when i un select same as previous!

Which version of MS Word are you using? Have you tried "Format">>"Background">>"Printed Watermark" from the menu bar yet?

Teh watermark will be the same for all sheets in the doc, if its in the header o footer, except fo First page (if it's marked "Different First page" in Page setup, and even and odd pages - if is market this option in page setup).
The "same as previous" works only for sections!

MS Office version not Operation System?
Are you using MS office 2007, 2003, XP (2002), 2000 or ...?

He is using Office 2007 I am guessing. I do not know where they moved printed watermark within the 2007 version. AJ have you checked out the way I showed the poster to do it? I do use that way as well when I am doing title pages for my book, but the way I showed is much easier to accomplish.

Yeah, if OP is using Vista, I think too, that he is using MS Office 2007!
Let's wait for an answer fro the OP!

Jimr a lot of people paste a picture or wordart or something like this into header or footer of the page, instead of using the way you shown!

I actually use your way, but have never taught it that way in the almost 10 years I have been teaching it. The way I showed is just too simple to use. The only time I would use the way you specified is if I wanted to ignore it on certain pages.

For Word 2007 follow these instructions:
Open Document
Goto Page Layout Tab
Click Watermark (the Pic above it is an earmarked page with the letter A on it) and choose one of the premade or make your own. if you click Custom Watermark at the bottom you have the option to type your own, or add a picture.

Thank You Woodham.
