Remove watermark in Pages (in a doc created in Word)

I cannot work out how to do this. I can make the master object selectable, but when I delete it, although the watermark disappears, there is still an icon that remains on all the pages in the document.
Please help!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi m.olson

Welcome to the forum. 🙂

+Menu > View > Show Layout+

There is probably something on top of it. Hold down the command key and click outside of the margins to get the pointer tool then drag select into the document. If you pick up more than one object, shift click on one to unselect it.

If the object has light crosses on the corners, it is locked:

+Menu > Arrange > Unlock+

If it is a background object:

+Menu > Arrange > Make Background Objects Selectable+

If it is a master object:

+Menu > Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable+

I'm having the same issue, but I can't even delete the watermark, nevermind the container. I've tried clicking on the edge, but the edge of the watermark won't present itself. It doesn't come up when you pass over it... it's like it's not there, but it's so dark and has shifted to the top of the page so I need to remove it or the document is useless.

I have created a new Problems thread in the iWorkTipsnTricks forum:

http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?p=311&mforum=iworktips ntrick#311

I will endeavor to go through some of the issues which don't have a tip as such but are common problems encountered by users and add them there.
