Watermark on full page

[Kellie]

Hello. I am using Word 2003 and am trying to do something that I don't seem
to be able to pull off. I am trying to create a one-page document and I want
a text watermark on the page. I can figure out how to create the text
watermark, but in 2003 it only gives you one line of text and it prints that
line one time across the center of the page.

I want to print that one line of text across the entire background of the
page and make it fill the whole sheet of paper. How can I do that or is that
not possible in this program?

You would need to use a graphics program to create an image with your
repeated word or phrase, save it as a .jpg, .gif, etc., then import into Word
as a Background image thusly:

Format > Background > Printed Watermark > Picture Watermark

You can add a multi-line watermark if you have Acrobat Professional: convert
your Word doc to PDF, then add. In Acrobat Pro:

Document > Watermark > Add

Thank you. I'll try that.

Another way is to insert a full page text box in the header view and fill it
with the text at a suitable size. Set the font colour to grey and set the
layout of the text box to behind text.
