Stamp It! How to Add a Watermark in Word Like a Pro

Protect your documents and give them a professional touch by adding a watermark in Microsoft Word! It's easier than you think.

Here's a quick guide: Open your Word document, then navigate to the 'Design' tab (or 'Page Layout' in older versions). Look for the 'Watermark' option – it's usually in the 'Page Background' group. Click it, and you'll see a gallery of pre-designed watermarks like 'Confidential' or 'Do Not Copy.'

Want something custom? Choose 'Custom Watermark.' Here, you can upload an image or type in text. Adjust the size, font, color, and layout to your liking. Play with the 'Semitransparent' option to make it subtle. Once you're happy, click 'Apply' and then 'Close.'

Voila! Your document now has a watermark, adding a layer of security and branding. Whether you're protecting intellectual property or just adding a visual flair, watermarks are a simple yet effective tool in Word.
