Sometimes, when you are working on a document, you may want to add a watermark or “background” image to your Word documents to add a company logo or identify the document status, e.g. Draft. 

1. With the Word document open go to Page Layout and in the Page Background section click on Watermark.
   
    
   
   
2. Now you can choose one of the included watermarks to fit the type of document or add a custom image.
   
   
   
   
3. To add a custom image click on Custom Watermark as the bottom of the menu.  Notice that this is where you also remove a watermark from a document.
   
   
   
   
4. Now you can add your own custom text watermark or browse for an image such as a company logo. 
   Here you can also customise the font, color, layout, and size of the watermark.
   
   
   
   
5. Click Apply or OK, and your watermark is applied to the document.
