Watermark Question

[Guest]

OK, I'll try again...I have a 5 page document and I'd like to put a watermark
on all pages except the last page.

Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks in advance,

Use a conditional field in the header eg

{IF {Page} <> {Numpages} "Put your watermark here"}
Actually it is not quite that simple as you will have difficulty inserting a
watermark image in the allotted space. The way round it is to save the
watermark as an autotext entry and insert an autotext field thus:

{IF {Page} <> {Numpages} "{Autotext "autotextname"}"}

The image will then appear in every page but the last.
If the document will always have 5 pages then you could use

{IF {Page} < 5 "{Autotext "autotextname"}"}

instead

Try separating the last page with a next page section break.
Go into the Header on the last page and turn off Same as Previous.
Insert your watermark a previous page, it goes in as an object.
Return to the last page, go into the Header and delete the object.
Works for me, and is simple to do.
