Is there a way to print out a watermark on a document, but not have it shown on the page when just viewing it?

Change your view to "Normal" view (Go to View|Normal. That will allow you to work in your document, while hiding the watermark. Then to see your document as it will print again, go to View|Print Layout.

I don't know how you are using your watermark, but...Another option is to fade out your watermark some. That won't hide it, but if your problem is that you can't read the text on the page because of the watermark, then this might help. Create your watermark by going to View|Header & Footer. Insert the picture/text there. If it is a picture of some kind, right-click on it and select Format Picture. Go to the Picture tab and, under Image Control, change the Color: field to Watermark. That will fade it out.

If you are using text as yourwatermark, you can make it a light shade of hue you are using.

Some print drivers enable you to add a watermark - but normally only text. And only useful if your printer has that feature!
