How to add a watermark to a Word document

Here is a quick skill to add to your Word repertoire – a little touch of Basildon Bond to your paperwork.

Watermarks aren’t just to look fancy, they do perform a useful function of reminding the reader that a document is in draft, or it is confidential.

Using a watermark is a clear visual reminder for confidential documents.

To add a watermark to your Word document, you need to use the Page Layout tab, and use the Page Background section to find the Watermark button

The drop down menu from the Watermark button gives you ready-made options, or you can create your own using the Text Watermark option.

I want to add the Confidential watermark to my draft agenda. So I can just click on the “Confidential 1” and click ok to apply it to my document.

It is that quick. I learned this in a few minutes but use it everyday.  For more tips from introduction to advances, take a look at our word training courses https://www.stl-training.co.uk/word-training-london.php
