Richard,

Why are you assuming that I was going to use a graphic for the
watermark? 

If I was using a graphic, I would have used that as a search term.
Watermarks also come in text versions, such as the word "DRAFT" centered
on the page.

Agree, a good indexer would certainly have included "watermark." OTOH,
you could have met them half-way and found what you needed. In the
index, there are entries for:

-- background graphics on master pages
-- graphics:background, on master pages 

So on the index tab, just typing the term you used to _describe_ a
watermark -- "background" -- will get you there. A search for background
graphic works, too.

Indexers should try to think of appropriate synonyms. But so should
index users.
