In this article I explain how to add standard and custom watermarks in Word 2013 documents.

A watermark is a Text or picture that shows up behind the text on a Word document page. And it is also used to protect documents and images from unauthorized use. Not only can you add a text watermark but you can use images too.

Step 2

Click the Design Tab in the menu bar and then choose the Watermark button under the page background group.
