Inserting a Watermark in Word 2007

by rhyttinen on August 21, 2009

Watermarks are faint text or graphic images that appear behind document text. Watermarks are often used to indentify the type or status of a document, such as “Confidential” or “Draft” or to add a company logo to the background. Watermarks are light enough so that they do not interfere with the reading of the document text and are intended for printed documents. You can choose from a gallery of pre-configured Watermarks or customize your own.
