Put a watermark on all pages Go to Design > Watermark > Custom Watermark. Choose Picture Watermark and select a picture, or choose Text watermark and type your watermark text in the Text box. Select OK.

If it's a text watermark, you'll have the WordArt Tools tab available, and if it's a picture, you'll see the Picture Tools tab when the watermark is selected. If it's a text watermark, you can drag it to change its position on the page, but no other editing.

Double click the area at the top of the page (above the first line of text). This will open up the Header/Footer function. Double click on the image and this will open up the Format Picture window. There you can use the slider to adjust the transparency, and a lot of other cool features.

Watermarks are just objects anchored to the header. Double-click the header to activate the header/footer area, and then you will be able to select the watermark and change its properties, including resizing it. Was this reply helpful?

Keeping your watermark in the corner with the opacity set to around 50% or less is a good idea. The most important thing to notice is that it looks professional. Watermarks distract when they're too bold, but also when they look shabby and as if they were made using Microsoft Paint.
