Not everyone uses this option but some documents need to have Watermarks in the background. Let me explain first what Watermarks really are and what kinds of documents usually have a watermark in them.
A watermark is anything that you can add to the background of your text document. There are two types of Watermarks in Word 2007;
- Text Watermark
- Picture Watermark
I will show you the examples of both types at the end of this tutorial. For now, let me tell you how to insert a Watermark in Word 2007.
- Open the Word document you want to insert watermark to
- Go to “Page Layout” Tab as shown in the snapshot below
- Move your mouse pointer to the “Page Background” section and click Watermark (See the Picture)
- Upon clicking the watermark button you will be shown a number of styles to choose from. Click the one you need
By default there are just three categories of predesigned Watermarks in Word 2007;
- Confidential
- Disclaimers
- Urgent
If you are creating a document that belongs to any of these categories, please select a predesigned watermark. If you need something else, please click Custom Watermark.
