I found that the .7 setgray is too dark, so I set it to .99
which is dark enought to be highly noticable but not so 
dark that it is hard to read the normal text.

To change to preliminary or confidential or another long word,

1) I changed the font size to 100 to allow the word to really
   stand out. 

2) The 200 30 should be changed to 150 100 so that the starting
   point is down far enough to the lower left to allow the 
   word to be printed properly. 

3) The rotation of the text needs to be changed to allow the 
   word to print from corner to corner.  I changed the 65 rotate
   to 55 rotate.
