I cannot delete the "draft" watermark and I have tried to copy and paste into
a new document and I still can't delete it. Help!
 
View | Header and Footer. Select the watermark and press Delete.

Hi

Depending on your version of Word, and how you inserted the watermark in the
first place:

1. Is the watermark in the document, or is it coming from the printer? In
File > Print Preview, if you don't see it, then your printer has been told
to inserrt the watermark. File > Print. Click Properties, make the change
and then click Close (to avoid actually printing the document).

2. If the watermark was added as a watermark in recent versions of Word,
then Format > Background > Printed Watermark. Choose No watermark.

3. If neither of the above are true, the watermark must be in the header or
footer. View > Header and Footer. You should now be able to click on the
watermark and delete it.

Hope this helps.

Even if it's inserted via Format | Background | Printed Watermark, it's
still just a graphic anchored to the header and can be removed accordingly
(and sometimes that's the only way to remove a watermark from a First Page
Header or header in a single section).
