Word Design > Watermark > Remove workmark does not work
After you have double-clicked the document header area, you should be able to see the watermark. If you don't see it in the current header, try navigating to some other header in the document. You should be able to select and delete the watermark.
Stefan_Blom I tried double-clicking and single-clicking headers and footers in several patterns on several pages, some with watermarks and some without, etc. That did not work. However, if I did the same sort of random clicking on the pages themselves in various places near or on the watermark, an outline would appear on the watermark, flipping back and forth between horizontal and diagonal picture with the text wrapped through/behind/in front (not sure which). When a watermark did appear like a picture, I was able to delete it. I had to do this on each page with a watermark. When the watermark was first added, it was added to the first three pages, but skipping the ToC pages. The page after the one with the last watermark (the page where watermarking stopped), was a page where I had added a picture, as if it stopped adding watermarks when it hit a page that had a user-inserted picture.
Maybe the watermarks were not true watermarks, but just images or text boxes positioned Behind Text on some of the pages.
Or maybe the document contains more sections than you think and not all sections have visible headers/footers, which would complicate matters a bit.
