I have several files that already have our company logos i the header and info in the footers. I want to create a watermark on the printed documents at 45 degreee across the text reading "CONFIDENTIAL".
Add a watermark to a printed document
To print a watermark, you must insert it into a header or footer. The watermark is printed wherever you place it on the page — it doesn't have to be confined to the area at the top or bottom of the page.
On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Show/Hide Document Text to hide the text and graphics in the main document.
Insert a graphic — a drawing object such as an AutoShape, clip art, WordArt, or picture — or insert a text box.
(I like the Wordart the best, because you can put in the text , then use the drawing tool to rotate it and it will print in outline at an angle.)
On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Close.
To view a watermark as it will appear on the printed page, use print layout view or print preview.
If the watermark interferes with the legibility of the text on the page, you can lighten the object you used to create the watermark.
