Watermarks - Not Coffee Rings

Real watermarks are made by introducing an intentional flaw in paper during the paper making process. They ususally verify the authenticity of something. If you look at the 10 dollar bill in your pocket you will see a watermark on it.

You can create a printed watermark in Word 2003 that can help to identify the status or authenticity of a document. You could even use it to warn people of the sensitivity of the information in a document. All you have to do is

1. Choose Format>Background>Printed Watermark. This opens up the "Watermark" dialogue box.
2. Then select the type of watermark you want to use, your choices are: Picture and Text. You will see a number of options that you can further add to your document.

If you need to remove the watermark you can do that from the same menu.
