17 June 2008 Please anyone let me know how to put the Text in the background like a watermark.

Whenever I prepare some draft documents I would like to have the words "DRAFT" in the background like a watermark. The words should be mildly visible in the background and I should be able to type something over them. The watermark should cover the whole of the page.

How should I do that?

Thanks.

18 June 2008 Dear one

The watermark commands are available only in normal, print layout, and outline views.
1. On the Format menu, point to
Background, and then click Printed
Watermark.

2. Do one of the following:

* To insert a picture as a watermark,
click Picture Watermark, and then click
Select Picture. Select the picture you
want, and then click Insert.

* To insert a text watermark, click Text Watermark, and then select or enter the text that you want.

3. Select any additional options that you
want, and then click Apply.

4. To view a watermark as it will appear
on the printed page, use print layout
view.
