    How do you correct the problem in Office 2007 where the text of the document covers the watermark, so it can’t be seen?

      If you post a copy of the document, we will fix the issue for you. However, you can open the header of the document and then format the watermark to appear behind the text. (right click) StampIt solves these problems.
