To remove a watermark in WordPerfect, the usual fix is to edit the document’s watermark or header settings rather than trying to delete it like normal text. In WordPerfect, go to the page or header area where the watermark appears, then use the watermark controls to either delete it or suppress it for the pages you want.

Steps to try

  1. Click near the top of the page where the watermark appears.
  2. Open the watermark settings.
  3. Choose the option to remove or discontinue the watermark.
  4. If the watermark is only on certain pages, repeat the process in each section/header that still shows it.

If that does not work

Some converted documents keep the watermark inside the header area. In that case, open the header, select the watermark object, and press Delete. If the document has multiple sections, each section may need to be checked separately.

Helpful note

If the watermark is actually a WordPerfect watermark code, removing that code from the document is the cleanest fix. If you want, I can give you the exact steps for your WordPerfect version.
