So I have tried this multiple times and cannot get it to place as a watermark, but rather just inserting as an image. :-( My whole point is to only have it on one page. I think there must be some setting elsewhere that allows this? Any ideas? We know how all these app folks make tweaks that screw things up, so it is entirely possible that since 2021 when you posted this that MS has made updates and this isn't the fix anymore. Sadly, no clue why saving a custom watermark requires so many steps, but again... app developers. :-( Anyway, if you happen to see this, try it out again and see what happens. Thanks!
@@nickinixon2125 Thank you for watching! I'm sorry the process isn't working for you. I just checked it on updated versions of Word for Microsoft 365 on a Windows 10 and a Windows 11 machine and it's still working on my end. I hope you are able to find a solution!
That has to be the most obscure implementation of any feature in Word. I wonder which of Microsoft's wonder children created these steps? Thank you so much!!!
You're a life saviour! There's absolutely no chance I was gonna guess this on my own. I don't even know what MSFT was thinking when they created this puzzle. Thank you!
Thank you! Right clicking on the Watermark thumbnail to add to pages individually is so simple, yet not at all obvious or intuitive. TIP if your Watermark is weird and small after you Insert at Current Position, click the watermark on the page and a box will appear that you can drag to resize/reposition and also edit the watermark.
Really VER VERY Thank you very much. The steps also work for WORD 2010. Just instead going to design tab go to page layout tab and proceed with the above video's step
Thank you for watching! To insert a watermark into a specific section, ensure the section breaks are in place, and then double-click in the header area of the section where you want the watermark. From the Header & Footer tab, deselect "Link to Previous." Then, switch to the Design tab and insert the watermark as you normally would. I wish you all the best with your project!
Thank you for watching! The easiest and most reliable way is to use the method shown in this tutorial. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of an easy way to choose specific pages. I wish you all the best with your Word document!
I have followed all the steps in this video (which was simple and easy to follow) yet my water marks atill appear on multiple pages, any other referecnes that I am missing or videos I need to watch? Thanks
@@erinwrightwriting No, it's not. I just have to reduce the size of the image to be able to see the page number at the foot. I thought there was a way to set an order between the two elements rather than moving the watermark away from the page no.
Great question! After creating your custom watermark, add it to the entire document as you normally would. Then, double-click in the header area to open the Header & Footer tab. From there, select "Different First Page." The watermark should then be removed from the first page. Thank you for watching!
I've been using WORD for decades and am a wiz at it - yet I didn't know this ! How wonderful.... Now - since Erin out-shone me - can you tell me how to do a custom page border for a novel that I can suppress on first pages of new sections ??? :) so it doesn't show up in new Part and Chapter starts? Challenge SENT ! :) LOL
Thank you for watching! That is certainly a challenging question, but I do believe I have the answer. 😊 After creating the section breaks for your chapters, select Design > Page Borders > and then select "This Section -- All except first page" from the "Apply to" menu. Hopefully that will work for you!
Great question! The easiest way is to create the text and picture combination as an image and then insert it as a full-page background image instead of a watermark. I have a separate video on full-page background images: th-cam.com/video/FGP2mFTwsQk/w-d-xo.html
@@erinwrightwriting you are brilliant ! Can you tell me how add the blank page in word a I know enter botton and in the keyboard and in insert tab .. my teacher ask me for another way it's for assignment so please help me

That is a great question! The easiest way to insert the watermark on a specific fold in a brochure would be to use the method shown in the first section of this tutorial to insert the watermark on a specific page and then resize it so it only appears on that fold. I wish you all the best with your project!
I feel like office do not really offer the ability to fully customize your water marks. I need to have a water mark only on page one but i need to use multiple pictures and objects and combine them and set it as a full page water mark. Is this possible

Thank you so much for watching! You can insert watermarks in several ways, including using Adobe Acrobat (the paid version, not free). I have a tutorial on that process if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/7It6OjZ_CWY/w-d-xo.html.

@@erinwrightwriting No, it's not. I just have to reduce the size of the image to be able to see the page number at the foot. I thought there was a way to set an order between the two elements rather than moving the watermark away from the page no.

Why do you have to open the 'header & footer' section when you didn't do any work there?
