Watermark Error 400

I believe this is a known issue with watermarks at the moment.

However, you may be able to insert an image (or text box) manually by anchoring it to the page header. Change the image transparency to make it more "washed out." It will then be the same as something that you added via the Watermark facility. See also http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/AnchorToHeader.htm.

All of a sudden, when inserting a picture watermark into MSWord. I am getting this

HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long..

I have cleared the cookies from Google Chrome.

Hi I am experiencing the same issue with Watermark on Word. Same error message too. I also clear all cookies as well. Is there a fix? I know I can insert an image but I use Watermark all the time for graphics

The John-Petrulich-Method doesn't work for me. Still have the same error message.

Thanks for this, Jan. I've referred my Word contact to your reply.

Thank you Mr. Blom for your kind response and input. I do hope MS will resolve this issue with the watermark issue soon. Some of us do use this application often.
