Watermarks in Word 97- 2000

To create a printed watermark on every page using Word 97 -2000 the watermark is placed in a Header/Footer. The best way to create text watermarks like "Copy" or "Draft" is to use WordArt. |

WordArt

Switch the Drawing toolbar on and choose the Insert WordArt button to display the WordArt Gallery. The very first layout is a suitable one for a text watermark. Once you have chosen your layout, type text into the Edit WordArt text window and choose OK. From the WordArt toolbar that should now be on the screen choose the Format WordArt button and choose a suitable format. A very light grey fill colour can be very effective. To rotate your WordArt text click on the WordArt to select it and use the Free Rotate button on the drawing toolbar. When you have chosen Free Rotate green circles appear on the corners of the WordArt. Drag these circles to get the WordArt to the position you require. When you are happy with the WordArt watermark click the Close button on the Header/Footer toolbar. You should be able to see your watermark on the screen, but if not, use Print Preview and the watermark should now appear on every page.
