While you can use Word’s Printed Watermark dialog box to add a custom watermark to your document, Word also lets you create a watermark from any graphic object (SmartArt, charts, shapes, clip art, etc.) by simply copying the graphic into the Header window. Follow these steps to create a watermark from a copy of a picture taken from the Clip Art Gallery:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Open a blank document.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Insert |Clip Art. (In Word 2007, click the Insert tab and select Clip Art in the Illustrations group.)<\/li>\n
  3. Search for the desired clip art in the Clip Art task pane.<\/li>\n
  4. Go to View | Header or footer. (In 2007, double-click the top of the page to access the Header area.)<\/li>\n
  5. Click inside the Header window.<\/li>\n
  6. In the Clip Art task pane, double-click the clip art picture you want as your watermark.<\/li>\n
  7. Right click the portion of the picture in the header window and select Text Wrapping.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n
