Thanks to those who responded to my "watermark" request. I must not have made myself clear enough that I knew I could do the PostScript method in the header, because I got some responses that said I could do it with PostScript in the header. Some told me where to find the code and some even sent me the code for doing "Draft". My "Draft" example was just so that people knew what I was talking about--I really wanted to be able to use any arbitrary graphic. While again, I know (think) that I could convert the graphic to PostScript and include it in the header, it becomes somewhat more complex because, other than extracting the text from an EPS(F) version of the picture generated by MacDraw Pro or using that capability with the new print drivers, I don't have a good way of generating real, arbitrarily-positionable(?) PostScript code to use in the header. I would really just like to place the picture in the header. Two of the responses I received lead me to believe that this was still possible, although without being able to see the combined image except in the page layout view... Dwight Lemke writes... "... If you want to print to a quickdraw device, you create the watermark in a drawing package, rotate it 45 degrees, and adjust the header so it overprints the text. This WILL appear in page layout view." Tonya Engst writes... "... So, if you want text to overlap some item in Word (4 or 5), you can stick the item in the header and set the top margin (Format/Document) to an exact measurement (you have to set it to exact so that the header doesn't push the text down too far). In Word 5, you can choose exact from a popdown menu; in Word 4, you enter a negative number in the top margin box, say -1 for "exactly one inch." You can then stick postscript code in the header to print a largish, grayed out DRAFT (or whatever text you desire) or you can put a graphic (or a large, bordered, table cell to make a full-page border) or what have you in the header. Word (like most Mac programs :-)) can't do display PostScript, so if you use the PostScript code method - as Andy notes - you can't see the result of the code until you print to a PostScript printer. If you use non-PostScript code - a graphic of some sort perhaps - you are likely to see a decent representation in Print Preview, though not normal or page layout view. Conclusion? For Andy (or anyone like Andy) to solve the problem, you can either:
