Custom Watermark
Microsoft Word Document
- Open an existing document (it is easier to do this
if the rest of the document is finished).
- Insert the picture
that you wish to use for your watermark.
- In the Arrange group of the
Picture Tools, Format tab, click
Text Wrapping or Wrap Text and select In front
of text (just until you finish setting it up).
- In the Adjust section, of the
Picture Tools, Format tab, adjust
the Brightness and Contrast
and/or make a Recolor selection.
- Resize and position the graphic on the page as desired.
This is usually easier if you change your zoom to
Whole Page.
- When you are happy with the placement, right click the
graphic and choose Send to Back>Send behind text or Order>Send to back
from the short cut menu.
More notes:
If you change your mind later, but cannot select your picture
to make changes because it is behind your text, use the
Select>Select Objects option from the Editing
group of the Home tab. This will allow you to
select it even behind text.
If you want the same watermark on all pages in the document,
anchor the watermark in the Header section of your document.
(Before following the above steps, click Header,
Edit Header on the Insert
tab.)
To change your Zoom to Whole page, click the current Zoom
level displayed in the zoom control on the Status bar. This will
open the Zoom control dialog box, allowing you to select Whole
Page without having to switch to the View tab.
Good luck and remember to have fun!
