Mauro MazzieriandClaude Opus 5.5 da89f7282d #1290: read Word's VML text watermark from DOCX headers
Word's Design › Watermark is a VML shape with a v:textpath in the headers.
The reader dropped it, so screen and PDF showed no watermark. It now maps
it to the document's watermark model (text, font, fill colour,
semitransparent from v:fill opacity, diagonal when turned), which the
renderers already draw. Only Word's watermark shape (PowerPlusWaterMarkObject
id) or text centred on the page both ways counts; other header WordArt,
body WordArt and shapes inside text boxes are left alone. Writing it back
to DOCX is still missing (it was already lost on save).
