its purpose or indicate how it should be handled. For example, you may 
want to add a watermark of the word “Confidential” to documents you 
don’t want distributed to other parties. Or you can add a custom PICT file 
of your company logo so your document looks like printed letterhead.

menu and click Print.
2In the printer settings dialog box, click the  Layout button. You see 
the Layout dialog box.

file in an application 
program that can 
create PICT files. See 
your application’s 
documentation for 
instructions.
If you selected a 
multiple page layout 
option (as described 
in Using Multiple Page Layouts and Page Frames

watermark will appear 
on each page in the 
layout.
