MS Word 2013 Watermark appears only when editing headers of footers
In Word, any watermark is an object which is anchored to the page header.
Do you see the watermark in the preview at File > Print?
Stefan_Blom, thanks for the response.
To answer your question, yes, the watermark does appear also when in print preview.Before yesterday, I used the watermark several times when editing similar documents to differentiate between them.
Moreover, this problem is affecting other docs and templates that already had the watermark working correctly.
This problem seems to affect my copy of Word 2013 only because my two Word 2019 copies on two different PCS open the same documents and they show the watermark normally.
I wonder whether there is a settings file that resides somewhere in the affected PC that the online repair did not modify.
Any help would be appreciated.
When you are working with the document, ensure that you are in Print Layout view.
If headers and footers are missing in that view, enable the option to show white space between pages at File > Options > Display:
- Stephan, that is always my configuration on all versions of MS Word I work with.
In addition, I always work on Print Layout view and my documents always show the headers and footers.
