Figure 17: Watermark Details dialog
The dialog box shows a preview image and controls the current set of watermarks,
including editing, coloring, shading, sizing or styling watermark text.
Click OK to accept all changes made in the Watermark details dialog box; however,
selecting Cancel does not cancel all changes. If you make changes to a watermark, then
select a different watermark or by select the New, all changes made to the previous
watermark are saved, and only the most recent (current) unsaved changes can be
canceled. For example, if you select Draft from the Effects tab, select Edit, and then
change the font, then select SAMPLE from the Current Watermarks list and click Cancel,
only the switch to the SAMPLE watermark is canceled.
Current Watermarks and Watermark Message
This list box displays the preset watermarks and any custom watermarks that have been
created. The driver has a limit of 30 watermarks. When the list is too lengthy to display all
the watermarks, a vertical scroll bar appears on the right side of the list box. Selecting
one of the watermarks enables the Delete button and the page preview. When the limit of
30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled and a help bubble appears next to
it that explains why the button is disabled and how to enable it.
Selecting the New button selects the Watermark Message box where the default
message “Untitled” appears. Begin typing to create a custom watermark and
automatically display the text across the page preview. Other watermark characteristics
are inherited from current settings at the time you create the new watermark. Click OK to
save a new watermark.
To edit an existing watermark, select it so that it appears in the Watermark Message box.
Once selected, the watermark message (the actual text that will appear over each page
of the document) can be changed.
The message string is also the name used to identify the watermark in the list, except
when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you might want
several different watermarks whose message is “Draft,” but whose font or size is different
for each one. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a
