Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Watermarks on business cards
Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Power PC I'd like to insert a graphic watermark on my business cards. I know how to do this for a document page but not how for each business card. Thanks Word's Watermark feature only applies a watermark on a per page basis. Business Card templates are nothing more than a table (columns & rows) which allow for multiple copies of the same content per page. If you want a watermark on each card it has to be a part of the per card (cell) content just like anything else on each card. Format the graphic to the level of brightness/contrast & size needed, set its Text Wrapping to Behind Text, then copy it & paste into each "card" on the label document. Positioning probably will be a bit of a challenge:-) Quite honestly, *customized* business cards - as with most other special layout requirements - are not best handled by a word processing program. There are a number of page layout programs available which aren't necessarily expensive but are designed for such purposes. One major advantage is that you have to lay out just the one copy of the card & the software automatically repeats it based on the number of cards per page. You may want to do a little Googling before you proceed:-) HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 4/29/08 3:37 PM, in article ee99fbb.-1@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > Version: 2004 > Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) > Processor: Power PC > > I'd like to insert a graphic watermark on my business cards.

I give this a try and will also check out Google as you suggested. > Word's Watermark feature only applies a watermark on a per page basis. > Business Card templates are nothing more than a table (columns & rows) which [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > I'd like to insert a graphic watermark on my business cards.

I'm pretty good at manipulating text spacing and got fantastic results!! Thanks again! You're most welcome - I'm gad it worked out for you! Thanks for the feedback.
