Putting DRAFT across all pages of a LaTeX document?
Leif J. Harcke
across each page in very faint block letters. Is there a macro to do
this?
Thanks in advance,

is probably a \special in a PostScript driver such as dvips.
The manual for dvips gives the following example to do this:
As an example of what can be done, the following special will write
a light DRAFT across each page in the document:
{\vskip0pt\parskip=0pt\leftskip=20pt\begverb{`\$}
\special{!userdict begin /bop-hook{gsave 200 30 translate
65 rotate /Times-Roman findfont 216 scalefont setfont
0 0 moveto 0.7 setgray (DRAFT) show grestore}def end}$endverb}
Hope this helps.

Oops... I forgot to edit out the code. Here is the code to have a light DRAFT
in a page when using dvips, corrected.
\special{!userdict begin /bop-hook{gsave 200 30 translate
65 rotate /Times-Roman findfont 216 scalefont setfont
0 0 moveto 0.7 setgray (DRAFT) show grestore}def end}
This should be put at the beginning of a document in TeX or just after the
\begin{document} in LaTeX

Description: LaTeX document-style option to mark manuscripts as drafts
by putting a line stating that it's a draft, along with the date and
time of formatting, on every page. (Note: the default marker text
is "ENTWURF", but can be changed by redefining a single macro.)

Description: plain TeX macros for use with the MakeIndex program to make
an index for a document. The macros work with MakeIndex in its
default mode, so no extra MakeIndex "style" file is needed (even
though that default mode is actually for LaTeX). For draft
documents a switch will turn on "galley marks" for indexed words or
phrases (a ruled box is drawn around the item). Includes macros for
both creating the raw index file and printing the processed index.
Instructions are provided for setting up more than one index.

>Thanks in advance,
Further to the various styles that have been suggested in a posting:
If you use dvips you can follow the instructions in section 13 "Other Bells
and Whistles" of the dvips documentation to actually overlay big light gray
letters DRAFT across a page. (I prefer 0.96 setgray for a LaserWriter,
about 0.94 setgray for an hpIV.) This solution does not actually mark
the stored document as still being a draft, but is a print-time addition.
Detailed procedure (following Rokicki):
Create a file .draft containing the following PostScript program:
!userdict begin /bop-hook{gsave 200 30 translate
65 rotate /Times-Roman findfont 216 scalefont setfont
0 0 moveto 0.7 setgray (DRAFT) show grestore}def end
Then create a file config.draft containing the line:
h .draft
Place both files together in a directory which is searched by dvips
(or put it into a directory mydirectory and set the environment variable
DVIPSHEADERS accordingly).
When you want to mark a printout in the desired way, use
dvips -Pdraft <filename> (including any other options you may need).
Best wishes, Paul

The various "draft" styles I've obtained have often a lot of problems.
This one, comming from Steve Anderson, i have modified is designed
for dvips and have 2 major improvements :
- can be used in any language or in a multi-lingual document (\draftname
can be already defined in an option of style. \DRAFTNAME defined
before \documentstyle supersedes any further definition, allowing
you for example to set it temporary to "CONFIDENTIAL").
- is using ISO-Latin1 Encoding, allowing to print words with diacritics.
(apply only at the \begin{document})
I have called this style epreuve.sty because draft is already used and that
epreuve is the appropriate French translation.
