Add Watermark To 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.

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

Step 1
