     On a watermark, you should be able to put text
anywhere you like - that's what a watermark is: a
background for text.  You do, of course, have to use
Graphics or Page mode to see where things are.
     I don't use mine as a watermark, but as a graphic.
I turn on "Text Flows Through Box".  The trick is
getting the text in the exact spot on the form where
you want it.  I get the text close, then I run my
ADV.WPM (shown below).  If you place the point you are
trying to adjust near the top or bottom of the screen
so the menu box doesn't hide it, you can goose the text
into place easily using the keypad number keys.  Hit
ESC or Enter to end the macro, as it calls itself.
Reveal Codes On may show an awful lot of advance codes,
but they don't hurt anything.  Turn Reveal Codes Off so
you don't have to see them!   *:o)
