I don't know if it will be of use to you, but *I* have occasionally
used a form scanned to graphic format, then used the Advance feature
for placement of the cursor when filling out the form. When printing
the completed form, set the watermark for 100% fill. If you just want
to print the data on pre-printed forms, print without graphics.
The May 97 issue of WPWin magazine also had a tip about using
watermarks for putting the same graphic on multiple labels, so
watermarks can be used for all sorts of little tricks! 
Cheers,
Phil
