Creating Watermarks in Word.

Here's the steps for creating a watermark:

• First, go to the view menu and select "Header and Footer".

• Insert your picture or WordArt and drag the corners of it so it is the correct size (fill the whole page or center it on the page, etc.)

• Now, with the picture selected (boxes seen on the corners and in the middle of each side), on the picture toolbar, set the text wrapping to "none" or "behind text", depending on which version of Word you are using.

• Also, on the picture toolbar, from the Format Picture Icon, set the Image Control to "watermark" or "washed out", depending on your version.

• Now, go to the view menu and select "page layout" or "print layout" (again, depending on Word version) and you will see it displayed, faded and behind your text.

• If you are using WordArt, you will need to go to the WordArt toolbar and, from the Format WordArt icon, choose gray 25% as your color, since WordArt does not give the Watermark option, and set it as semi-transparent.
