I've put a Draft watermark in a Word 2007 document. On some pages, it is
obscrued by a graphic object, such as a text box, a picture or a table with
banded rows. Is there any way to get Draft to appear through and through?
Thanks.

Watermarks are in the Header/Footer layer of the document which lies beneath
the text layer, so any content in the text layer will overprint the
watermark - which is as it should be. Objects - such as shapes & text boxes
- which have no fill or transparency applied will allow some degree of the
watermark to show through but you can't make the regular text transparent.

Of course, you could always create a WordArt Object instead of a watermark,
apply transparency to it & set its wrapping to In Front of Text.
