Discussion on:

Create a watermark using a Clip Art Gallery image

This is a great suggestion. How about doing it with word art?

Hi Mary,

I am Jyothi here. I was looking for the same tip. Thanks for posting this. Had tried various ways of creating a watermark in the word, but today got to know how to do this. Thanks,

Cheers,
Jyo

You do know, that my word2k can:
Format / Background / Effect / Picture
(translated from danish - find it yourselves)
That is watermark - without spoiling the header in doc.

The method described will only give a restrictive watermark. The Header method is much more tailorable and effective

It would have been helpful to have the instructions for formating the pic for Word 2003 as well as 2007 since the article started out covering 2003.

Thanks.

if i got it right for 2003 is much easier.
open VIEW (Header and Footer), than paste the pic you want (not neccessary from clip art), than place the pic where u want it to have. Thank right click on the pic chose -format picture- in opened window chose LAYOUT text wrapping (in front of the pic). click ok. Than on picture toolbar make it lighter or darker - as u want. and that's all. d i got it right?

I have been trying to figure this one out for a couple of days. Thanks!

I'll look forward to trying this. Combined with PhotoShop tricks, I'll feel like an artist. Thanks!

I can remember mutiple times I wanted to do this and just could not make it work. Thanks!

Very interesting but not accurate for Word 2003. It will work, but the options are not as described

Okay, that is just too cool! Can't wait to try it.

Works, but is complicated, why not do it the standard way of adding a watermark? This method is too restrictive in that not every picture/drawing object is findable via the search for clip art function. It is much easier to go to format->background->watermark. Using the given method, I could not find anything but actual clip art using the search function and wildcards, I actually had to give a path to the "my pictures" directory and even then it didn't find anything but clip art, What about non-clip art objects such as photos, etc. that I might want to use?

Bastante util e interesante sobre todo practico, gracias.

Anyone tried this on OOo yet?

very good. I learnt it for the first time. thankx alot.

Thanks... good and useful information...

You can use the watermark option too but you can't adjust the color depth that way. This way you can choose how you want the colors
