All of a sudden I can't select the watermark option for export.  The option is there but it is grayed out.  I am using Lightroom 5

It is because you had the Image Format in the File Settings section set to "Original". With that set you can't add anything to the image. Not even the edits you made will show up.

So I take it you can see presets in the Export / Watermarking area, but can't select anything?

All the Watermarks below highlight when rolled over as shown . . .

But your not getting that?

You need to check the Watermark Box first before you can select a watermark.
