  You don't need a Section break - you need a 'different first page' layout. You can then insert one watermark into the first page and another into the second page. If you're doing this by code, you'll also need to tell Word which header to use in each case.

  I tried that earlier and it just doesn't work.  Thanks for trying!

  Assuming you're using Word 2010, try:

  Sub Demo()
  Dim StrPath As String
  StrPath = "C:\Users\" & Environ("UserName") & _
    "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\14\Built-In Building Blocks.dotx"
  With ActiveDocument.Sections.First
    .PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True
    With .Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage)
      Application.Templates(StrPath).BuildingBlockEntries("CONFIDENTIAL 1").Insert Where:=.Range, RichText:=True
    End With
    With .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
      Application.Templates(StrPath).BuildingBlockEntries("DO NOT COPY 1").Insert Where:=.Range, RichText:=True
    End With
  End With
  End Sub

  The path to Built-In Building Blocks.dotx will likely need modifying for other Word versions.
