Watermarks in InDesign

[lcl276]

Good afternoon

I have a 600+ page manual, with over 25 Master Pages throughout the document.

I would like to export the document for proofing for the client with a watermark of "DRAFT" across every page.

Is this possible to do in one go rather than having to go through each Master Page and add the word "DRAFT" across each one?

Thanks

It is a simple solution in InDesign to make a watermark on a single page, then copy the text to other pages. Here are the steps:

1. Type the text you want such as DRAFT.
2. Under the Window tab, click EFFECTS
3. You need to tag the text box instead of the text.
4. After the text box is highlghted the Effects box has an elevator (slide bar) to choose how much opacity to give to the text inside the text box.
5. Slide the elevator left or right to increase or decrease the opacity.
6. Wa-la!  You can now copy paste the text to multiple pages.
