Adding a watermark to a Word 2010 document – STL

I want to write a letter with a visual reminder not to send it to soon…what I need is a watermark with the word “draft”.

It is no mystery and ridiculously easy… Here is a plain letter.

Draft-letter-in-Word-2010-pending-watermark — Here is my draft letter, missing a watermark.

The tab I need to use is Page Layout.

screenshot-watermark-button — Watermark button is in the page background section

I click on the watermark button and it gives me a selection of watermarks. I’m going to select “draft” to remind me not to send the letter just yet. This is what it looks like with the watermark.

Watermark-draft-letter-word-2010 — A simple way of reminding myself this is a draft document.

I can remove the watermark when I am happy with the final version, by clicking on the watermark button and selecting remove watermark.
