Word 97 allows the use of WordArt as a watermark ... Word 2004 doe

[Guest]

Word 97 allows the use of WordArt as a watermark (View Header Footer, then
create using WordArt and move / resize per preference) ... Word 2004 doesn't
appear to have that capability. Any suggestions?

In Word 2003...try going to Format --> Background --> Printed Watermark -->
select Picture Watermark and click the Select Picture button to select the
picture to be inserted as a watermark

Does that work in Word 2004 since that is the version he specifically asked
about?

A watermark is only a (pale) graphic set behind text and (usually) placed in
the header layer so that it appears on all pages. If Word 2004 doesn't have
the tools to add it specifically as a watermark, it will certainly have the
ability to insert it as a background graphic.

Word 2004 is a Mac version, and there are Mac-specific newsgroups, so the
Original Poster might want to ask over there:

See here for gateway to Mac-specific ngs:

But yes, this works fine in Word 2004. OP just can't find it because recent
versions made it a "feature" with a some pre-defined dialogs instead of
making you do it manually, though the manual method should still work so I
think OP might just be confused. Use Insert | Watermark, create a Text
watermark. The text is WordArt.

On the good chance the Original Poster is not on a Mac, and just got the
number wrong, but in fact has Works Suite 2004 or something, that is Word
2002 and this should still all be pretty true.
