Hi

The watermark is not appearing in the first page in Word in the licensed version using Aspose Word API for Java.
In trial version the watermark is showing in the first page.

I will attach the sample file where the issue exists. Also will attach the code snippet.

I am not able to upload sample Word 97 doc file. How to share the file?
