Hello everyone! I have a little problem, I'm working on an internship report in Microsoft Word 2010. I inserted a watermark on the 8th page of my report and I wanted to know how we can put this watermark only on that page (because it appears on all my pages) :) Thanks in advance...

Page 8 :
double click in the header, select the watermark, cut
double click in the text (at the beginning), paste

Hello,

This solution is still just a workaround. It's better to keep the watermark in the header.

The right method:

Select the "Different first page" option in the page layout settings, and remove the watermark from the second section.

No section breaks are needed.

Yes, m@rina; but it's page 8 that should receive this watermark...

Oops!!! Thank you, Raymond! We'll blame that on the late hour!! ;)))

A workaround that prevents section breaks (which can't be said to be a strong point of Word).

Indeed, the less we put in, the better off we are! That's the most difficult thing to manage.

Hello Patrice.

I must have missed something, but I can't figure it out; even when I add section breaks before and after; even when I deselect the "Link to Previous" button.
The best I could do was insert an image behind the text (but not as a watermark), which confirmed my feeling, right after reading your solution, that there was a little problem...

Best regards.

Hello, Raymond

Indeed, you must have missed something. There was no difficulty.

The watermark is just an image inserted behind the header text and centered on the page.

In the absence of a section break with different headers, it appears on all pages.

To have it on only one page, simply remove it from the header (cut) and place it under the page text (paste).

Hello,

I can easily make a page break, but where can I find a section break?

The worst part is that I completely skipped Gwadaigle's question: I thought there was supposed to be a certain watermark on all the pages, except on page 8 which would have a different watermark...
See you.
