What Is A Watermark?

How do I enable the Watermark in Microsoft Word?

1. On the Design tab, select Watermark.

2. Choose a pre-configured watermark, like DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, or DO NOT COPY.

3. For placing a logo or image, Select Watermark > Custom Watermark > Picture watermark > Select Picture. On the same menu, you can create a custom text watermark.

First, create your custom watermark.

1. On the Design tab, select Watermark > Custom Watermark.

2. Choose Picture Watermark and select a picture, or choose Text Watermark and type your watermark text in the Text box.
