Add A Watermark To Your Word 2007 Document

Dennis Faas's picture

There are a number of predefined watermarks that ship with MS Word 2007 that you can add to your document without any additional formatting.

When you want to distribute draft copies of the document you are working on, you can add the draft watermark to each page.

Follow along by following the steps below:

  1. Click the Page Layout tab.
     
  2. Click the Watermark command in the Page Background group.
     
  3. Select Draft 1 under Disclaimers.

You may want to create your own watermark. After your document has gone through the draft review process, you will most likely want to distribute a final copy showing the mark-ups.

Follow the steps below to create a custom watermark to reflect your document changes:

  1. Click the Page Layout tab.
     
  2. Click the Watermark command in the Page Background group.
     
  3. Click Remove Watermark to remove the Draft 1 watermark.
     
  4. Click the Watermark command in the Page Background group.
     
  5. Click Custom Watermark.
     
  6. Click Text Watermark.
     
  7. Click in the Text text box and replace ASAP with Final Showing Markup.
     
  8. Click Apply.
     
  9. Click Close.

That wasn't nearly as complicated as you thought it was going to be was it?
