- Yes. The text columns must be transparent. You see, the "Draft" is a
- background graphic, and as such, is behind the text columns on the page.
-
- If you are planning to use the draft banner, you should make all text columns
- (on all pages and all master pages) Fill Pattern: None.
-
- Unfortunately, for an already existing document, I know of no way to do a mass
- change of this type. You must go to EVERY page, select the text column(s) and
- click Fill:None. Not fun in a 100 page document.
