Inserting a Watermark into Microsoft Word
2000+
Add a watermark to a printed
document
To print a watermark, you must insert it into a header or
footer. The watermark is printed wherever
you place it on the page -- it doesn't have to be confined to the
area at the top or bottom of the
page.
1. On the View menu, click Header and
Footer.
On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Show/Hide
Document Text to hide the text and
graphics in the main document.
2. Insert a graphic --clip art, WordArt, or
picture.
On the Insert menu, click Picture then
Clipart.
3. Select the picture and insert it into the
document.
4. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click
Close.
The image will then appear on the
page.
5. To modify or move the picture it is necessary to go to the
View menu and click Header and
Footer.
6. Click on the picture to produce a frame with handles. Right
click on the picture and click on
Format Picture to open the format
dialogue.
7. Select Layout > Behind Text to enable the
picture as a watermark.
8. Select Picture to control the brightness and
contrast. I found about 90% brightness
necessary for this watermark. You can set other options here
to suit your needs.
9. You can then drag the picture anywhere on the page and
resize it using its handles.
