ID: Q95550

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, versions 5.0, 5.5, 6.0

SUMMARY

In Word for MS-DOS, you can create a watermark, which is an image that appears to print behind the document text, by formatting an absolutely positioned object as a header or footer (running head in Word 5.0). The object can be a table, paragraph, or inserted graphic.

MORE INFORMATION

For example, to use a graphic as a watermark in your Word document:

Insert the graphic anywhere in your document.

Select the inserted graphic.

From the Format menu, choose Position. Select the appropriate settings, and choose the OK button. For example, to center a graphic on the page, select the following settings:


      Option                        Setting
      ------                        -------

      Horizontal position           Center
      Horizontal Relative To        Page
      Vertical position             Center
      Vertical Relative To          Page
      Width of Graphic              0

From the Format menu, choose Header/Footer. Select Header or Footer and choose the OK button.

The graphic will print on every page, as if it were preprinted on the paper.
