To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the
Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.
Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks
list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you might want
several different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different font or size. When this
occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When
a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the
number increases until the name is unique.
Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in a Diagonal, Horizontal, or
Angle (custom) orientation to the page's text. The default is Diagonal. All three settings automatically
center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle
of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right
corners of the page.
Font Attributes
Use controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the color, shading, size, and style
of the font.
The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls:
■ Name drop-down menu
■ Color drop-down menu
■ Shading drop-down menu
■ Size spin box
■ Style drop-down menu
Name
The Name drop-down menu lists TrueType fonts that are currently installed on the system.
Color
The color selection combo box provides a fixed, unalterable set of color choices, in palette/color name-
pair form, for the watermark. The triplet values for these colors are shown in the following table.
