To print a watermark, you must insert in a header or footer. The watermark is printed at the location where you insert it into the page - it is not necessary that the watermark is placed on top or bottom of the page. On the View menu, click Header and Footer. In the toolbar header and footer, click Show / Hide Document Text to hide the text and graphics contained in the main document.
Insert a graphic - a drawing such as AutoShapes, a picture of the library, a WordArt object or a picture - or insert a text box. In the toolbar header and footer, click Close.
