Mac Forum / Applications / Word / December 2006Word for Mac X
I am using Word in MS Office for Mac X . Could somebody give me a hint or link for creating stationery templates with a permanent¹ water mark? My system: Mac Mini with 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo; Mac OS X 10.4.8. My thanks in advance for your assistance. Rudolf > I am using Word in MS Office for Mac X . Could somebody give me a hint or > link for creating stationery templates with a permanent¹ water mark? I think Word X doesn't have the Insert Watermark feature? A watermark is just an image anchored in the header with a certain transparency, you can create it manually. Open up a new doc. Then View | header/footer. Use Insert | Picture | Word Art to put in the basic text/image. Then the Word Art toolbar should come up. Use the Format Word Art icon to change the transparency for that watermark look (under Colors and Lines, and set to No Line, probably) Once you've got the watermark as you like it, do the rest of the template formatting and save as a template. If you have never created a template, the Help topic should be "Create a document template". Post back as specific questions arise. > My system: Mac Mini with 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo; Mac OS X 10.4.8. > My thanks in advance for your assistance. > Rudolf  SignatureDaiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: <http://word.mvps.org/Mac/WordMacHome.html> What's an MVP?

That is certainly true. However he never quite said "Word X" in the first place - take a look at the subject. He said "Word for Mac X" (which is actually what many people say), quite possibly meaning "Word for Mac OS X", which is accurate if not precise, and he was not necessarily even aware that there has been more than one version of Word for Mac OS X. Many people I know have no particular knowledge or interest in all the different versions. They just mean "I'm now on Mac OS X" (often not aware of which version of that either), not Windows, not old Mac Classic which they were using until recently, "and I'm using Word that I bought for that". Of course, as we experts know, it _does_ usually make a big difference as to which particular version we're using. But people writing here often don't know, and are not claiming to know, unless and until we ask them to investigate more deeply.

Precisely. CH === What a watershed of (most amusing , I must say) comments that followed my inquiry with that imprecise description of the version of Word I am using. Since the wonderful debate seems to bounce between well known MVP celebrities in this newsgroup (Daiya Mitchell, Elliot Roper, Paul Berkowitz, to name just a few.) who at one time or another all have helped me out solving my occasional mental road blocks, I feel compelled to present myself as the 'He who does not know what versions of Word' are our there. The 'He' is a 75+ years old f ella, a Mac enthusiast who has been using MS Word for a very long time, beginning in the dark ages of Windows and eventually and luckily continuing since about three years ago with Word in my Macs. And trust me I actually knew that there is a Word 2004 being an upgrade to 'Microsoft Word X for Mac SR1'. This proper definition of my version of Word can be found, and you all know that of course, in the drop down window of "About Word". I guess a mental slip of tongue created this weird description in the subject line:, i.e. "Word for Mac X". And for all the fun I had reading the threads, I don't feel I should apologize for my mistake. To the contrary, it brought life and character to this community which I thoroughly enjoy. If it were not for you MVPs I probably would still be swearing and ranting, digging my way through manuals which are to thick to be useful and too thin to cover all permutations of possible errors a human being is able to make with a complex tool as Word. Allow me to take this opportunity to thank you all for the great service you are providing to us mortals. You have become my very first resort for helping my brittle brain cope with a complex tool like word. Keep it up and also keep immersing now and then the kind of humour that brings this newsgroup to life. Have a wonderful Holiday Season! Yours truly, Rudolf P. Hecken, PhD EE.

I guess you got the watermark all sorted? I personally read the subject line as "Word for Mac" [version] "X", as opposed to "Word" for "Mac [OS] X". :) At some point after the first "perhaps it's not Word X" post, it also crossed my mind and kept going until just now that someone who wrote this: > My system: Mac Mini with 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo; Mac OS X 10.4.8.

[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Have a wonderful Holiday Season! > Yours truly, Rudolf P. Hecken, PhD EE. Hi, Just to let you know that I have experimented with the 'watermark in the header concept' . The problem with it is that I seem unable to write on the newly created template if I use something other than the Wordart text box. If I use my own design (JPG for example) I am unable to write on it and can not figure out why. I decided that I would waste your and my precious time to get this feature do what I would have liked to accomplish. Perhaps you could help me with a somewhat different template style: Instead of writing on a plain white sheet I like to create a template with a faint background of my own design having texture or irregular patterns. This template should be available for special writing jobs just like a blank document. Perhaps this is asking something which Word is unable to deliver? Please let me know. Regards, Rudolf "Daiya Mitchell" wrote On 12/12/06 9:21 PM: > Happy Holidays. I guess you got the watermark all sorted? > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> Have a wonderful Holiday Season! >> Yours truly, Rudolf P. Hecken, PhD EE. Hi Rudolf, Entirely possible in Word. When you Insert | Picture | From File, it comes in with the Layout set to "in line with text", which means you cannot write on top of it. Double-click the image to bring up the Format | Picture dialog and change the Layout to "behind text". Then you should be fine, it should act pretty much like the Word Art image. Make sure you insert the image with the cursor in the header/footer, so that it will repeat on every page, then drag it wherever you want. Any image Layout setting other than inline with text is a floating image, which means it is out of the text stream and can be dragged to anywhere on the page, and is denoted by empty outlined boxes around it on selection, instead of the solid black boxes and line that come up when you select an inline image. Side note: A) most printers will not print all the way to edge, so if you want this look to print, you'll probably have to accept a small blank margin. Side notes on templates 1) I hope you are not making these changes to the Normal template, as that will mess up your envelopes and labels. Also, don't try to save this as the default template, please. 2) once you get the template set up as you like, save it in the My Templates folder. Use File | Project Gallery to open a clean new doc based on this template. Once this works smoothly, record a macro of the Project Gallery process, and assign that macro a keyboard shortcut, for easy access (even cmd-N if you want), or put it on a toolbar. Post back if you need more guidance with that, although Help will walk you through it also. PS. If one question is a waste of time, they all are. It's far more fun sorting out how to use Word than troubleshooting. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >> Happy Holidays.

It might be just right for your needs. I tested the idea with an Aubrey Beardsley print as a background. It is a pity that I'm a bit too old to sending those sort of sexy letters to anyone but the boss of the house. > Any image Layout setting other than inline with text is a floating image, > which means it is out of the text stream and can be dragged to anywhere on [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > cmd-N if you want), or put it on a toolbar.

To begin with, NO, I did not take Typing at school. At the time (I was born in Germany) there was no such thing as learning Typing in school and there were not too many type writers in private hands. Think 1946. So, if you really want to know where and how I learned Typing be prepared: Shortly after WWII - I was 14 then - I became my father's helper in his bicycle shop so much so, that I did not find time to do my homework for high school until after dark. Part of my chores was writing some correspondence on his Remington. Being useful to our family in those very difficult years was really great fun for me. However, since that initial 2-finger-system type writing consumed more time than I could afford, I got hold of a manual for learning the 10-finger-system, with progressive lessons which I followed until I was able to write without looking on my fingers. I thought that would be good enough. Today I still love to write stories as you may have noticed and I will not be offended if somebody tells me to shut up in Newsgroup correspondence. Cheers and have a wonderful Holiday!

Hi Rudolph: OK, sorry about that -- my sense of humour doesn't always cross the Pacific undamaged. I was actually sharing a joke with Phillip; I was not really enquiring about where or how you learned to be a better typist than I.

Your sense of humour (or humor on this continent) did not get lost on me ... after the second or third post. I picked up on the theme just to see where it would go. BTW, I learned a little bit of the triviae of life in other cultures (and of MVPs) and that you folks seem to be a real close knit family. This is not surprising, thinking about it, since you are all reading from 'the same sheet', most of the time at least. I truly enjoy listening in. Finally, I am proud to report that the trick to put the background picture/watermark into the Header worked great.

And Out Back refers to anything you see out your back door. Being in Christmas Spirit and having a little fun I was playing with your words OutBack. I've never seen it (the real thing).
