In order that every new page of a document using this template will
dispaly the watermark background.

Unfortunately, Word 2000 does not have an actual watermark feature per se as
2002/3/7 versions do (though you can apply watermark properties to an image).
So, you'll have to do it manually in the Header or Footer.

Hi,

I'm haven't used print layout templates, but the way I add watermarks
normally is to go into the header |View|Header and Footer| and add a Word Art
(eg DRAFT) in the middle of the page.

The watermark will appear on all pages that have that header - so if
header/footer is different for first pages in a section, it will need to be
added there too, and following any section breaks where the header/footer
isn't "same as previous", it will also need to be added again.

Hope this is relevent to your problem.
Cheers,

Glen
