c. Check Bold and/or Italic to add those attributes
d. Click the Color swatch to set the color of the watermark text.
e. Click Stretch text to fit entire page to have the text spread across from edge to edge

independent of the size you set in the Fonts panel.

6. Set the alignment of the watermark.

When it first appears, the watermark is automatically centered on the page in the orientation and
appearance of the original file. You can alter these.

a. Click any of the 9 options in the visual Alignment grid to have the image or text appear

centered in that portion of the page.

b. Enter any positive or negative value in the Horizontal Offset and/or Vertical Offset fields

or click the steppers to achieve a finer position adjustment.

7. Determine the rotation by entering an value between 0º and 359º or turn the Rotation dial to

the desired amount.

8. Set the Transparency of the image or text by entering a value in the available field, or dragging

the slider to achieve the desired effect.

9. Determine whether or not you want the image or text to Draw over text on page or not by

checking the box at the bottom of the dialog.

!

Depending on the transparency of the watermark, drawing it over the text of your document
may totally obscure the text. On the other hand, drawing the watermark behind the text will
hide it behind any inline images.

10. When you are satisfied, click Apply.

When you add a watermark to your document, Nisus Writer Pro becomes highly modal in its behavior.
This is necessitated because the watermarking needs to take full control of the document window.
Due to this limitation of being unable to scroll the document, Nisus Writer Pro changes the zoom ratio
of your document so that you can see at least one complete page. If you had been in Draft View, Nisus
Writer Pro switches to Page View. However, if your view had been set so that you could see more than
one page of the document, Nisus Writer Pro will not change the zoom ratio.
