I've done this and it works great!
Now there's only one problem: I assigned a Chapter Page master page to my
cover pages, but if I add a page before the chapter page, my watermark
appears on the wrong page!
Is there a way to permanently assign a master page to a body page so that it
doesn't move around as you add more pages to your document? Also, can you
force a master page to be a right hand page?
Some people suggested that I used the printer to assign a watermark to the
pages. I can't do this because a) my printer doesn't support watermarks and
b) I don't want the watermark appearing on every page.

Be seeing you,
