To get around that limitation[s], why not create a "watermark image" and 
place it in the background?

I made a very "faded" color image and placed it in the background in 
several places on a letterhead.  It was so light and "faded" it could be 
printed, but would not show up when copied. Althoughthey did not need 
it, that allowed them to have a way to make sure no one could make 
copies of the document[s] and claim that it was the original.  The color 
image printed out well in either b&w or color.

So, if you really need to have a watermark design that cannot be done 
with the watermark option, try doing that.  To be honest, I created the 
letterhead using OpenOffice.org and did not know how to use any 
watermark feature.  So I used what I knew how to do, the background image.
