Add a graphic watermark
Images, sized from small to full-page, serve as
effective backgrounds for text when the text
color contrasts consistently with the image's
colors. You can use a picture, clip art, or other
image, such as a company logo. First, you add a
frame to the page. Then you insert the image
into the frame. Finally, you format the image.
Set up the frame
1. On the View menu, click Master Page.
2. In the Edit Master Pages task pane, point to the
name of the master page that you want to add
the watermark to, click the arrow, and then click
Edit.
3. On the Objects toolbar, click Picture Frame ,
and then click Empty Picture Frame .
NOTE If the Objects toolbar isn't open, click
Toolbars on the View menu, and then click
Objects.
4. Click the place in your publication where you
want to locate the picture, and then drag the
Adjust handle of the empty picture frame until
you have the size that you want.
The dimension of the square that you create
determines the longest side of the picture. The
picture that you insert into the picture frame will
reduce or enlarge so that its longer side fits the
edge of the picture frame.
Add the image
To add the image, do one of the following:
Insert clip art
1. Right-click the empty picture frame, point to
Change Picture, and then click Clip Art.
2. In the Clip Art task pane, type a search term into
the Search for box, and then click Go.

your publication.
Insert a picture from a file on your computer
1. Right-click the empty picture frame, point to
Change Picture, and then click From File.

scan your picture.
NOTE If the Insert button is unavailable, the
scanner software might not support an automatic
scan. Click Custom Insert instead.

Add a different watermark to a set
of pages
When your publication uses only one master
page and you add a watermark to that master
page, the watermark appears on every page of
your publication. To add a watermark that
appears on selected pages only, place the text or
picture on the publication pages instead of on
the master page, and then send the picture or
text box to the back.
To add a different watermark to a set of pages,
such as a chapter or a book signature, create
different master pages, insert the appropriate
watermark into each master page, and then apply
each master page to the appropriate range of
publication pages. You can also add a watermark
across a two-page master page.
Find links to more information about master
pages in the See Also section.
TIP If a watermark is placed behind other
objects on the page, the objects that are hiding
it may be opaque. To make an opaque object
transparent, click the object to select it (if the
object is a table, select the entire table), and
then press CTRL+T. If the object is opaque, it
becomes transparent; if the object is already
transparent, it becomes white.
